Description

After a slight gear malfunction, Peter L & I finally left car park at 10.30 & the weather much better than our first visit to the car park at 9am! Started up the route at 12.30. Soft recrystallised snow, with steps and occasional holes but almost complete. 'No difficulty' as the guide says. Great views from Sail Mhor summit. Descent direct from the first col is a bit tedious, I must stop doing it.

Area : Northern Highlands South (winter)

Extending from Torridon in the north to Knoydart in the south, and including Glen Shiel, Glen Carron and Applecross, Northern Highlands South includes many brilliant winter climbs of all grades and styles. The quartzite cliffs of Beinn Eighe and the corries of Bheinn Bhan have become forcing grounds for modern mixed climbing, while Liathach nearby offers many fine, steep, traditional ice climbs. New winter climbing possibilities are being discovered on the mountains throughout this area on an annual basis.
