Description

Today was all about nav, although we did have fairly good vis, we we're sure to make navigational statergies as if we were in a white out, later during the day the winds picked up and the spin drift made it quite difficult to see, which was great for us to then practise our white out strategies, we had probably about 100m of vis at times.
Avalanche risk was on considerable on NW aspects at 900m and moderate at 800m
with the avalanche risk being quite high, we submitted Am Bodach and used the spur to descend back towards sgurr an lubhair and continued down to sgurr a mhaim.
usi8ng the north east spur down to the barn and out.
Good decisions on the snow, good navigation.

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.
