Description

Had to wait a bit for a slow pair ahead. I led first pitch, Liam led 2nd pitch, I took 3rd but cut it short after running low on screws (Liam forgot his half of the rack) and liam took the 2nd half of the 3rd. Liam took us to the top, down number 4 gully.
Climbed with Liam Fleming.

Area : Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg

Ben Nevis is certainly the biggest and most famous winter climbing ground in Scotland, with something for everyone from the debutante to the most experienced and skilled. The almost alpine grandeur of the north face can, in a good winter, transform into a world where climbable snow-ice forms at almost every angle. It provides climbs suitable for any stage of the winter, from early season snowed-up rock climbs to late season ice wall specials. Also included here are the small number of winter climbing opportunities on the neighbouring Carn Mor Dearg.
