Steall Falls, a social scene

The first day of a 5 day course with West Coast Mountain Guides, I headed to the icy Steall Falls. I was with Huibert and Bastion, visiting from the Netherlands.

A few others had the same idea, but it wasn't a problem and made for a relaxed and sociable outing - bit like being on Idwal Slabs back home.

There is a lot of climbable ice up the 100+m fall, with a few watery holes adding to the atmosphere. We opted to go again in the afternoon, picking out the steeper sections to add interest.
