Back to Stag Rocks

Out today observing an MIC Candidate and his two students. We went to Stag Rocks and after descending Diagonal Gully and looking at options they followed Max's team up Apex Gully with me observing.
We had a pleasant sunny walk in to .1141 with a temperature inversion in the Spey Valley and then descended Coire Raibert in mist. We had a few views across Loch Avon whilst we were climbing but returned to the Cas Car Park in very poor vis again. It was mild throughout the day and many of the rockier routes were bare on Stag Rocks today although Hells Lum is still utterly buried.
Great pick from one of the other teams here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=734906613208471
