Description

The end of the road at Drochaid An Eas Bhuide, Sron Squgg a Mhaim. Sgurr a Mhairn. Devils Ridge. Ridge far more exposed than expected, mostly done in clag. Occasional clearing revealed huge cornices and avalanche debris down in the valley. Saw what can only be described as a ghost of a man dressed only in woollen gear, genuinely looked like he'd stepped out of the early part of last century. He was walking toward us, walked past then disappeared into the clag. Got nervous crossing ridge due to the poor condition and exposure. Later start than intended, slower progress than expected. After the ridge headed west from the col down into the valley and back to the car.

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.
