Absolutely no filter. View across Loch leven

Peering down the top of SC gully, Stob Coire nan Lochain
Turnertower:
SC gully, Stob Coire nan Lochain. Grade III. 4 pitches. Very powdery first pitch which was hard work with short legs, 2 nice icy pitches and an alpine top out through a cornice to blue skies. Brill!
Turnertower:
SC gully. The Snowiest gully to the right of the left buttress almost centre picture. More powder than Arch gully the day before due to aspect. Had a rocky, bulgy mid section crux which took a bit of footwork (awful in my case) but amazing nonetheless!
Turnertower:
This looks like it could be anywhere, but I think this is me topping out SC gully. What a phoney!

Dodgy doodle of Arch Gully, Stob Coire nam Beith
Turnertower:
Walk-in to Stob Coire nan Lochain
Turnertower:
Not the best pic but that's me fannying around on Arch Gully. Awesome ice pitch that.

Heading off again

Dave looking for an abseil point in the shadows
Turnertower:
This was about the only time Dave stopped all day. For about 30 seconds to stuff a flapjack
Turnertower:
Dave and Michael and a bit of lunch. Not often you get to do that in Scottish winter!
Turnertower:
We spent a lot of time on belays (whilst Dave was above generally being amazing) playing spot the cornice shape. Mid-flight Eagle was my guess here?
Turnertower:
View from The Coire, SCNL
Turnertower:
The simply staggering Church door buttress, Bidean.
Turnertower:
Think I need a trip to the desert to balance out all the snow pics!?!
Turnertower:
Wishy washy light in the Lost Valley
Turnertower:
View up the crag from near the lochain, it's under there somewhere folks
Turnertower:
'Noir' version of Church door buttress. Still staggering whatever kind of filter you throw at it
Turnertower:
Shame there's no people for scale - the vastness that is Church Door Buttress
