Besteigungen Sgurr Fiona (An Teallach) - Sail Liath (954m) 20.02.2010

An attempted ascent of An Teallach via Constabulary Couloir with Lucy, Andy and Suzana. Initially the snow in the lower part seemed pretty unstable; soft and very deep. However, higher up in the gully we had excellent neve conditions and it was perfect for soloing up with crampons and an ice axe. Lucy was on good form, and made a bomber pace up the route, topping out much before myself and Suzana got there! The weather was lush too, crisp and cold - just how all winter days should be! But by the time we had reached the ridge before the traverse of An Teallach started properly it was already starting to get dark again. Suzana and I roped up thinking that the terrain was going to become infinitely more difficult from there, but we didn't actually tackle the main difficulties of the ridge because we only reached them at the time of making the decision to turn around before it got too dark.
So fortunately this mountain needs a return winter ascent! It was however a very lush descent back down to Dundonnell via Sail Liath, watching a brilliant sunset as we did.
