Description

Day 1 of a 3-day Winter Skills Course for 8 candidates from the WYWS group. Gondola used up to the high ground at Nevis Range. No great distance covered but suitable slopes were found for this training under strong winds which blew snow across our training site so goggles were needed. A challenging day for the candidates!

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.
