Description

Out with two clients for a crossing of Ben Lomond via Ptarmigan Ridge. Snowline at about 750m, with some significant accumulations requiring the use of axes and crampons on the final summit slopes.

Area : Loch Lomond to Strathyre (Ben More)

Ben Lomond (974m) and Ben More (1174m) sit on opposite sides of this area which stretches from Loch Lomond to the western end of Loch Earn. There are two distinct sections, to the north and south of Glen Voil, with the remaining peaks sitting to the south of Loch Katrine. Access to the majority of the hills in this area is commonly from Crianlarich, Aberfoyle or Callander.
