Description

Amazing, Really steep and would have felt more confident if it was a bit colder in trusting screws but great climb. Mega undercut cornice at top was tricky and freaked Jill out a bit so 1 climb day.
Climbed with Jill Plummer.

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.
