Description

Centurion. First 2 pitches had water running down them. I led pitched 1,3,5 and 7.

Area : Ben Nevis, Aonach Beag and Aonach Mor (Summer)

Ben Nevis and the Aonachs are of course best known for their winter climbing, with the exception of the outstanding trad climbs of Carn Dearg Buttress. But the north face of 'The Ben' also has many other fine crags which tend to get lost amongst the immensity of it all, well worth exploring. The classic ridges offer fine summer outings of a mountaineering nature, and a limited number of summer climbs of similar style can be found on both Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag.
