Approaching the crux pitch of Morwind

Morwind is a good 3 star winter buttress route on Aonach Mor taking one of the longest lines on Central Buttress on the east face in fact the whole cliff. The buttress is far less subject to avalanche then the gullies. We abseiled in to avoid easy gully route approach as it looked dangerous and hard going banked out with snow . An excellent mixed route!
