Description

Easy Gulley (I). Snow cover full length of the gulley but it was getting heavy and wet, entering thaw conditions.

Area : Creag Meagaidh, Beinn a' Chaorainn and the Monaliath

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.
