Description

Hosting on the CAF Marseille Scottish Meet.
Christof took 1st pitch and I think ran into 2nd pitch as well (not as long as 45m described in the guidebook. I took us to the top via an interesting little mixed corner over to the left which provided some entertainment.
Climbed with Ben Dorian, Christof

Area : Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag (winter)

These two mountains to the north of Ben Nevis provide contrasting winter climbing venues. The east and west faces of Aonach Mor are easily accessible from the gondola and the east face especially provides many short, interesting and relatively non-serious climbs. Beware of avalanche conditions however. The cliffs of Aonach Beag however, are much more remote and much less frequented, but when in condition the ice climbs on its north face are highly sought-after.
