Comments
Na ~ sz3 on the sub peak just South of Mount Kinross observed from pyramid road. The crown starts around the Col between the sub peak and Cairngorm and propagated E approximately 500m across rocky ribs on the main face. Crown thickness was variable but looked like it could be up to a meter or more at some spots. Also saw a few small point releases on steep and rocky S-SE aspect slopes.
