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.
Climbed with Rachel Crewsmith. The ice at the start of the Pipe was a bit rotten after thawing and refreezing the steep ice section s above and below were in great condition.
