Doors of Perception

Climbed the first 6 pitches of Doors of Perception yesterday, but turned around due to the time. Large amounts of spindrift was being blown around through the day, and the snow bowls on and below the climb are developing a 1F hardness soft wind slab about 5-10cm thick over 4F to F snow. We anticipate that this will probably become harder and maybe more susceptible to triggers over the next week of warm temperatures. Doors of Perception had a lot of snow on the climb, making for slow travel; Coire Dubh Integrale seemed to have less due to the aspect, but a large cornice has formed above the exit corner.
