Ben Nevis is certainly the biggest and most famous winter climbing ground in Scotland, with something for everyone from the debutante to the most experienced and skilled. The almost alpine grandeur of the north face can, in a good winter, transform into a world where climbable snow-ice forms at almost every angle. It provides climbs suitable for any stage of the winter, from early season snowed-up rock climbs to late season ice wall specials. Also included here are the small number of winter climbing opportunities on the neighbouring Carn Mor Dearg.
Ben key day! Cramped ride in the back of a truck. Passed a few teams on the walk in. Red sky in the morning. Weather deteriorated through the day. Big stomp up to Comb Gully, just behind a guided team who'd started early. Bit of a wait on the climb, Liam a bit nervous as hadn't been out much. Led the crux pitch.
