Serious Decision Making

We had just topped out on Sgurr Coire nan Eiricheallach. I can't say it either...(891M). We were now in a total white out.
Lots of fresh snow, very loose and avalanche prone. Dangerous.

We had to make a decision whether to carry on for another mile across a ridge and up a lose buttress to our target Munro Sgurr Mhaoraich (1027M) or not.

It was an easy decision. That Munro isn't going anywhere.
