Nice dry rock away from the snow melt

Good climbing conditions on lovely dry rock as long as you avoid crags such as Hells Lum that are severely affected by the drainage from the snow melt on the slopes above.
Also care required and an ice axe is useful on the snowy (often icy in the morning) approaches to some of the Cairngorm crags - if you know what you are doing routes such as Savage Slit might be better approached by abseil from above!
