- Before the weather closed in we were treated to wonderful dawn light over Glen Muick
- Between showers we got some great views back down the glen. Funeral Falls is the obvious ice line on Broad Cairn Bluffs
- After soloing the first section Uisdean belays in the cave
- Debs grins and bears it as another shower comes through while we gear up
- A very snowy Creag an Dubh Loch looks menacingly on as we gear up – we made the right choice…
- After two sketchy approach pitches it was time to concentrate and get on with some proper climbing
- A couple of useless and a handful of good screws later I move onto the ramp beneath the Damoclean icicle fringe
- Beautiful wind-sculpted ice formations in the cave
- The Hanging Garden area of the Dubh Loch framed by icicles
- Happy climbers in the cozy cave belay
- Scoping out the way ahead at the start of the crux pillar – the cavity under the ice to my left was amazing!
- A good foothold provides respite for the arms mid crux
- One last shake-out before pulling out of the cave
