Under the Lochain ice!




Underwater ice video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8bQ5zV_7lE
Another sunny day with good icy snow though the SE wind was a lot stronger and colder than expected for our planned classic rock climbing route... We spent a few hours sheltered from the cold wind watching, videoing and photographing the coire's lochan ice sparkling and bobbing in the sun!
This gave us the ideal opportunity to field test the Pentax W60 camera's underwater and freezer proof capabilities and get some amazing still and HD video footage for the YouTube video above.

If you replay the video and look very very closely you will find another useful feature of filming underwater - I wish I'd noticed it at the time... ;-)
BTW the winter climbing conditions on Y-Gully and the Vent were excellent on both Saturday and Sunday. We didn't see a sole climbing in the coire on Sunday either!!!
