> Coire Dubh was in pretty good shape today(saturday). The ice is in for the 1st pitch, an easy section and a fat 3rd pitch. All grade 2 . Scruffy in the upper easy sections, unconsolidated snow on talus. We climbed the big left facing corner just right of centre for the last 100m. It was a mostly dry rock with a dusting of powder on top. Some firm snow and ice but not much up there.
>
> We didn't find any scary cracking or whumphing windslabs. Not much snow left to move around so until it gets hot, rains or snows a bunch more it should be a reasonable place to go reasonable places.
