We went to Clachnaben in the afternoon and found that the rains of Monday and Tuesday had been snow on the hill. The higher we went the deeper it got. As we got above the forest it was knee deep. We worked our way up the trail which was barely visible as stones poking up here and there. Soon it got deeper and we could not tell where the trail was at all. we kept climbing to where we thought we'd need to make a left. I looked at my GPS and we had passed the turn by 200 meters or so. It was now about waist deep and there were no landmarks at all. Just deep snow. We knew if we just aimed up and kept going we'd find the top but it was not easy. In places the snow was at my chest and pushing up was interesting. We eventually saw the welcome sight of the top. As always the wind was blowing and we did not stay long. We aimed straight down and were wishing we had our snowboards.

Happy at the top
Where's my snowboard when I need it?
