Ben Lomond unexpected extreme conditions. Winter 2019

Fresh snow finally seems to be moving after a late start to the 2018/2019 winter season.. looked like it was going to clear to be a good day so Ben Lomond seemed like a good bet.. great climb up with surprisingly deep snow but on looking down onto the Ptarmigan path it looked like real backcountry, waist deep powder, no path or footprints... it took a long time before I found the first footprints where people had turned back due to the conditions, that made it feel particularly special. My most favourite day on Ben Lomond yet
