DESCRIPTION OF ROUTE:
Ramsey round 2 day expedition (Day 1)
I set off from the glen nevis hostel at 8am and set of behind the hostel to join the west highland way I made my way up the track and walked up to sgorr chalum before heading to mullach nan chaorainn along its north ridge. The snow level was at 600 meters and from then on crampons and a walking axe was needed. I then headed east towards Stob Ban. The conditions where perfect and could see for miles all around. There was a gentle breeze and blue skys. I slowly walked around the base of sgurr an lubhair where I set up camp for the night up on the ridge. The sunset was amazing with crisp condition and no wind.
