Description

The best day of weather in a really challenging week of heavy snow & high winds, still a significantly breezy day with lenghty period of poor visibility on the tops, but giving way from time to time to some fantastic views and later in the afternoon actual sunshine. QMD on the following counts: 2nd ever solo Scottish day; challenging conditions (deep, sometime very deep snow in places; Navigational challenge; first time in this area.

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.
