Hasn't voted | Nothing is whited out - the clouds were playing around the mountain which was sometimes in and sometimes out. The "cordory" ( corduroy ) effect is that you are looking at 4 to 6 inches of new snow on ledges separating steeper rock bands - the rock in Glacier is sedimentary and faces such as this tend to be "stair steps" of short cliffs with narrow ledges between. | | Posted Nov 1, 2002 12:44 pm |

Hasn't voted | Interesting peak - I did not realize that there was anything quite so free standing in Scotland - thanks for the links. | | Posted Jan 21, 2003 3:35 pm |

Hasn't voted | Yeah, Suilven is a fantastic site in that area of Scotland. It's not very high but it does have a lot of local relief. Plus, it (along with Canisp) sits out on its own. It's a tourist trap kind of place around there.
Scotland is my favorite country outside of the U.S. | | Posted Jan 21, 2003 5:41 pm |
