Due to poor snow conditions with a consideable avalanche hazard in most areas we headed for Beinn an Dothaidh to climb the Emel Ridge. This picture shows Stuart approaching the Emel Ridge.

Jeanie heading up some open slopes on Emel Ridge.
The crags ahead provided the crux of the route. We had to pitch a section of steep rock and turf.

Looking towards the northern buttresses of Beinn an Dothaidh. Emel Ridge is fairly central in this picture.
Snow, SNOW EVERYWHERE! Studies in all the shades of white! So glad you were not bowled over by a rush of snow though!
