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.
Initially intended to climb Ben Nevis via the CMD Arete to claim this as a QMD. However the weather forecast for the day was for very high winds ~60mph above 1000m so reluctantly we decided that this was not sensible. However since the weather was excellent aside from the strong wind we took the opportunity to climb Ben Nevis as this was one peak that I had never climbed. So we joined the hordes of people on the mountain path instead. It was a good day with fantastic views from the top but sadly not the QMD I was hoping for.
