Jacob's Ladder, Coire an t-Sneachda

Today looked like it was going to be the last decent day for a few days so I went for a walk into the coire. I was planning to traverse under the Mess of Pottage and up the ground to the left and back to the plateau but Jacob's Ladder began to look quite appealing as I got nearer so I went up that instead!
The snow was good and the cornice had a slot already dug so that was fine. What surprised me was just how windy it was on the plateau and coming down the ridge to the ski area just after lunchtime was quite exciting. It looked like the skiing had stopped for the day.
