Snow Bridge
As the idea of this exercise was to test my back after crushing my lower disc at Christmas, I wanted to see how it would fair with climbing, with a full backpack. I climbed up above Glen Muick to the snow line 400 meters above me, and as can be seen by the snow on the path, I'm almost there!!

Reflecting the shape of the snow covered Miekle Pap beyond, a marker cairn marks as far as I go on this trip. Miekle Pap literally translates as "Large Breast", and now we have two!

Descending the mountain once more, ice has formed across the path, easy to skirt around but fascinating to see the intricate patterns it has formed.
