Ben Nevis is certainly the biggest and most famous winter climbing ground in Scotland, with something for everyone from the debutante to the most experienced and skilled. The almost alpine grandeur of the north face can, in a good winter, transform into a world where climbable snow-ice forms at almost every angle. It provides climbs suitable for any stage of the winter, from early season snowed-up rock climbs to late season ice wall specials. Also included here are the small number of winter climbing opportunities on the neighbouring Carn Mor Dearg.
Working for Hebridean Pursuits being mentored by Andy Spink. Single client Chris Milne who had spent the previous day with Tim Oates on Golden Oldie. Great day guiding, though Chris was a bit slower than some teams behind so used some tactical breaks to allow others to pass. Still made reasonable time and took in the summit of Ben Nevis after climbing Tower Ridge. Descent via the Red Burn.
