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.
With Stephen. Stopped en-route to Creag Meagaidh to check and it was in :) Possibly first assent of the year? Just as we were leaving a huge chunk of ice broke off from above and shattered across the slab. Not a route to be climbing in the sun!
