Description

Climbed Ben Nevis via the zig zags using the stone cairns and compass to navigate, descent was via the CMD Arete, heavy westerly wind made this quite difficult however easterly slopes were loading with snow throughout the day so although the wind was gusting 50mph it was still safer to traverse the ridge and traverse just below Carn More Dereg summit and down towards below the CIC. Keeping off all loading slopes and staying on slopes that were scoured and safe.

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.
