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.
Easy day heading up on skis checking out a couple of routes before getting organised and having to drive South to Killin for the Austrian Alpine Club work. Climbed Right Twin and Left Twin solo. Would`ve spent the day checking out some of the bigger mountaineering routes on the West Face but avalanche danger was considerable on this day so opted for East Face.
