Ben Nevis Winter climbing conditions

I will be running a separate page for winter conditions on Ben Nevis once the 2015 - 2016 season gets underway. It is under the Winter section of the website. The link is here BEN NEVIS CONDITIONS.

Mountain Motion Blog

This is where you can find some pictures and blogs of what I have been up to. I'm not the most avid blogger in the world!, but when the Winter comes there will be regular conditions updates for Ben nevis as well as a dedicated Ben Nevis conditions page this coming winter.

Cheers
Richard

Jan 21, 2014
Category: Winter

Once in the Corrie today it was nice and wintery, a fair amount of fresh snow being blown around. Jonathan wanted to do a more mountaineering route today so we did Boomerang Arete which is a great grade II route. Never that steep and nicely do-able with one axe and a small rack and shortish rope. It also avoided the main gully lines. Other teams in the corrie on

Winter climbing on Ben Nevis with Di today. Just a chilled out day, no particular thing in mind, just a wander up and see whats what!
