Glen Coe gives a wealth of winter climbing opportunities of all grades and styles, something indeed for everyone. The cliffs are also, in the main, easily accessible which means they can become very popular. This area also includes the winter climbs on the mountains south of Glen Coe in Glen Etive, and on hills more southerly still but north of the A85 Oban road (notably Ben Cruachan). Also included are the hills of Appin and Ballachuilish, the dry tooling of Ballachuilish bridge, and the winter climbs in Ardgour (notably Garbh Bheinn).
Very ambitious day with Rich Gentry. We were very psyched after some rubbish conditions. temps had supposedly gotten cold overnight and we grand plans for Chimney Route or Tilt. Got in and realised it wasn`t really that cold. Gave Twisting Grooves a whirl but turf was completely unfrozen so retreated and opted for NC Gully and down Broad Gully, looking at some MIC prep stuff on the way. Out with Mike Thomas and Will Nicholls also MIC prepping.
