Description

Led bottom 2 pitches, bit sketch, very drippy through a steep section, found a hex though. Very windy on top but visibility wasn't too terrible and short wander off the side back in lee.
Climbed with Jill Plummer.

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.
