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.
Day out shadowing/observing Rich Bentley. Rich had a single client who was keen to climb some ice. Slow walk, quite miserable weather. Stopped in the CIC hut to recover and grab some tea! Slowly made our way up to the first 2 pitches of Wendigo and then climbed Central Gully Left Hand branch for the first pitch, before then heading up the Central Gully Right Hand branch to finish.
