Ben Challum - Kirkton farm to south summit and then along corniced narrow section to main summit

Cloudy to 550m during the ascent but lifted to 900m later in the afternoon before the weather really closed in. Freezing down to the car first thing but rising during the day to 750m

Skis on at 600m with excellent snow above 700m. snow depth uniformly 30cm but perhaps 70cm higher up with large drifts over 2m depth. Windslab above 850m on easterly aspects and readily breaking away. Overall excellent cover with no base although the grassy slopes helped with very few rocks. Great to be out so early !
