Hiking in a snow blizzard, Ben Narnain, Scotland

[craigbradford]

Location

Arrochar Alps, Scotland

Capturing this image was a challenge, the cold mountain winds made the temperature drop to -20ºc, both I and my friend's hands would go numb after 5 seconds without any gloves making it hard to press the shutter button.
After this image was taken storm clouds started rolling over the mountains to our East approaching us, we quickly got these images and began our descent.
We did this hike without any snow cleats which made it very challenging to stay on our feet as the trail was frozen over with black ice.

I had no idea you can go skiing in Scotland. I guess I learn something new each day. Love the story behind the pic btw. And the pic, too!
