Ice on Aonach Mor

Jan 11, 2013

Climbing ice on Aonach Mor today with Angie and Alastair. Angie wanted to lead so we opted for Left Twin which had great if thin ice all the way. Placements were good and some of the ice was good for screws so it all worked really well. The crag is looking whiter today with some riming starting and also a dusting of snow.

The Twins are all climbable with no problems on the exits, Tunnel vision is broken in the middle and other routes such as whote shark, the web are not really there although the web and Nausea would make interesting icy mixed routes at the moment.
