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.
A fantastic day of ridge walking with a well chosen and timed route. An early planning meeting with a McCafé Coffee and Hot Chocolate lead to a timely ascent through an inversion, shrouding Glen Nevis until the snow-line at 850m where we were met by glorious sun. After whipping on the crampons to assist with the crusted snow above 900m we were rewarded for our summit choice by stunning views from the only cloud-less peak in sight. A fun scramble on Devil's Ridge and accent to Sgor an Lubhair for lunch and sunbathing/burning in a fabulously photogenic sunlight. We were rewarded for our excursion by views as far as Schiehallion and Jura. Peered at South Gully on Stob Bàn we concluded there not be enough snow to make a feasible ascent so continued to the summit on the mountain path before a returning to Lower Falls carpark.
