Today I was out for the first day of two with Willie and Jason. A few of them meet up every year for a spot of winter climbing and this year they fancied the Cairngorm's. The other team went out with Dave Kenyon. Jason, Willie and I wandered into Coire an t'Sneachda to see where the masses were heading. With folk on, or heading to some of our intended routes we scanned the guide again for more inspiration and found ourselves making our way up Wavelength (III,4). I couldn't quite see why it only got 1 star in the definitive guidebook but in the selected guidebook it receives its worthy 2 stars. It was a great route and no push over at the grade, gear was a wee bit tricky to find but generally ok. Dave and his team went up the Message (IV,6) and then did The Seam (IV,5).
