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.
Plan to climb via South Gully but obvious snow instabilities decided to bail and traverse across to west summit ridge. On moves across snow field heard a loud "whumpf" under our feet and could feel the snow pack settle.....good decision to bail (the slope was only about 20 degrees). Weather light snow showers but obvious thaw taking place.
