Description

Late Gondola, dragged up on skis. Quick abseil down the line of Morwind (remember to skip 1st station in future, should be able to get down in 2 then. Climbed with Caspar McKeever. Caspar took main 1st pitch, I led shorter 2nd pitch then soloed out.

Area : Aonach Mor and Aonach Beag (winter)

These two mountains to the north of Ben Nevis provide contrasting winter climbing venues. The east and west faces of Aonach Mor are easily accessible from the gondola and the east face especially provides many short, interesting and relatively non-serious climbs. Beware of avalanche conditions however. The cliffs of Aonach Beag however, are much more remote and much less frequented, but when in condition the ice climbs on its north face are highly sought-after.
