Hosting on the CAF Marseille Scottish Meet.
Led 1st pitch, quite steep ice covered in lot's of snow crud but quite banked out at bottom so not too much. On 50m ropes so short of belay. Ben moved up past belay 1 and then we moved together upto the next steepening. Iwent up another steeo section of crud to a good belay with a peg, nut and hex on left wall. Broke out further left near end and did some wild patagonian vertical snow crud whilst moving together, very serious.
Climbed with Ben Dorian, Christof
Area :
Creag Meagaidh, Beinn a' Chaorainn and the Monaliath
The winter climbs of Creag Meagaidh take a while to come into condition, but when they do they provide some of the best ice and steep gully climbs in Scotland, highly prized. This area also includes the popular Beinn a' Chaorainn and the more esoteric opportunities in the Monaliath. In a rare winter ice forms on Creag Dubh Newtonmore, which is also included here.
