Self reliance is a fundamental principle of mountaineering. By participating we accept this and take responsibility for the decisions we make. These Conditions Reports are intended to help you make good decisions. They do not remove the need for you to make your own judgements when out in the hills.

Fresh snow fell to sea level today in Fort William. It did not stay around long but there is now a good cover of fresh snow on the hills above 500m. It has been cold (-5C on the tops) for a few days now and the remaining ice on Ben Nevis is freezing back onto the rocks underneath.

I wonder if we will be ice climbing in May this year. I have only climbed grade V ice in May once before so it is about time to do it again. Fingers crossed!
