Description

Nice to be heading out solo again. Started 1245. Finished 1930.
Good, rhythmic climb of just over 1000m.
Crampons on near the top.
Great traverse of cornice topped ridges to .1001m
Then along to Stob Ban as the mountains turned a soft orange.
From there I started to motor.
Cloud came over the final few summits but generally I could just pick out the corniced edge to my right.
Took a bearing off the final summit and headed down.
Enjoyed the looming darkness and picked my way for some time sans headtorch.
Stopped in the tree line for a brew and sandwich.
Great day.

Area : Ben Nevis & Aonach Mor (Fort William To Loch Leven)

This area covers the mountains between Fort William, Loch Leven (to the south) and Loch Treig (to the east). The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath. Relatively accessible from the A82, these mountains hold some classic walking and climbing routes such as The Ring of Steall in the Mamores and Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
