Description

Chris Walker Memorial Trust AMI Avalanche Workshop CPD Day. Classroom based in the morning then took the Gondola up in the afternoon, journeying up to the top of the East Face of Aonach Mor and then down the Nid ridge looking at the changing snow conditions underfoot and discussing avalanche decision making processes and teaching. Scary conditions encountered today on the Ben and West face of Aonach Mor with lots of teams triggering slides on a hard to spot faceted layer.

Area : Ben Nevis & Aonach Mor (Fort William To Loch Leven)

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.
