Returned to Snow Mountain this weekend in the hope of seeing some snow. There wasn’t as much as last year, but the trail through the black forest and up the cirque to the peak had a fair amount as well as a lot of ice. My new 12-point crampons served me well and there was no problem in getting the top to enjoy some fabulous views, even if it was a little chilly!
I’m just going to post of pics of the trip here. Information about doing this hike can be found on my original Snow Mountain post. Also Barking Deer can help with organising permits/guided trips.
The sun finally beginnings to light up Snow Mountain and we were incredibly grateful for the warmth it brough!
The crampons made coming down an absolute breeze, even if they did put holes in my trousers and boots!
Neil also has some awesome photos on his site
