Stob Coire Raineach on Buachaille Etive Beag then ice axe drills on the col, with some thrilling displays of speed from Ian 'The Bullet' Ashby.
Viking Five Oh was sessioned over lunch and its trajectory into Lairig Gartain 650m below successfully halted.
Split party - half up to the 902 top and half digging-in on the col. Great digging snow had the cave-dwellers ready to be anal-probed from upstairs in about an hour. We filled in our handiwork to prevent others falling into a man-trap before we retired gracefully from the hill by 'controlled' bum-glissade.
After bracing cold recovery showers back at the YHA we dined at the Clachaig then at Mitch's insistence danced in the bar to pipes & accordion courtesy of Fras.
