Ascents Spidean a'Choire Leith (Liathach) - Stuc a'Choire Dhuibh Bhig (915m) 17.02.2010

Alternated leads with Suzana while Rocio soloed up with us. Nice route, but the snow wasn't particularly neve-like, especially after the second pitch so it felt more like a steep walk rather than a proper climb. Still, we had some practice in moving together on a short rope on the descent off Stuc a'Choire Dhuibh Bhig with fantastic views into the wilderness north of the Liathach massif - the first day of the week (possibly) we'd had any decent views at all.
