Description

Walked up from main car park, as the lifts weren't running, following the mountain bike path up to top ski lift area. Traversed between Meall big and Aonach an nid teaching snow craft skills from crampons fitting, usage, self & ice axe belay,, journey skills & avalanche transceiver skills.
Steady walk up, bit strong winds and poor visibility hampered the teaching somewhat.

Area : Ben Nevis & Aonach Mor (Fort William To Loch Leven)

This area covers the mountains between Fort William, Loch Leven (to the south) and Loch Treig (to the east). The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath. Relatively accessible from the A82, these mountains hold some classic walking and climbing routes such as The Ring of Steall in the Mamores and Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
