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.
Clockwise circuit of the Ring of Steall with a client - we opted to tackle the wire bridge/ river crossing first, after parking in the lower car park and walking up to the Nevis Gorge path. conditions were pretty good in the morning; clear skies and impressive views, but cloud moved in from the south and conditions deteriorated throughout the day, with limited visibility by the time we reached the Devil`s Ridge. Snow cover was variable, with considerable accumulations of windslab on the Devil`s Ridge combining with a small cornice to make some sections quite tricky to negotiate.
