:: Route(s)
Beinn a dothaidh , west gully? Climbed large ice filled gully in north east corrie, not sure if it was west gully or not due to mist. Seemed quite hard for the given grade!

:: Weather Conditions
Snow showers , high winds on top but sheltered in gully. Freezing about 600/700m. Weather improved in late afternoon.
:: Climbing Conditions
Snow mostly in large north face gullies and lots of ice in corrie, many frozen small waterfalls/streams. Gully was mostly water ice with some running water underneath in places( but fat enough to take long screws on steep pitches) with some snow bridges in between. Hard snow for last 100m or so with some new snow on top.

Millfore, Rhinns of Kells. Climbed two routes, probably first ascents. They are the two main gullies on the east face, the southerly one is a grade II/III quite nice series of boulder problem style pithces, the northerly gully is much better, grade III, lots of ice on a long series of 5 to 10m pitches, and even a dusting of snow. Very nice.
