Finger's Ridge, Coire an t-Sneachda - 23rd May

Today was a day for lots of activities at Cairngorm, perhaps something for everyone?

The ski area was open for all snowsports, the birdwatchers were out with cameras and telescopes, folk were out walking around the Northern Corries and on to the summit of Cairngorm, off-piste skiers were enjoying the skiing in the gullies and scramblers and climbers were out on Fiacaill Ridge, Pygmy Ridge and we were out having a great day on Finger's Ridge.

Our approach to the start of the route was on old snow, a bit alpine and nice to have an ice axe to hand. Once we reached the rock, it was dry though I'm sure a lot of the blocks were looser than I remember! Caution advised especially if there are other climbers below!
