Clear at last!
7th January 2018
A quiet and beautiful day on Ben Nevis. Only a handful of folk wandering around and a dead shrew!
The snow is quite variable underfoot still so be prepared from some trail breaking if you are venturing off the beaten path
Ice looks like its starting to form on many of the routes
Saw one team on Ledge Route today plus quite a few on Carn Mor Dearg and the Arete
Sadly, I think the shrew was beyond my first-aid ability.
Ptarmigan in full winter plumage
A dead Shrew at 760m. Not entirely sure what it was doing there!
A keen climber approaching the bottom of Observatory Gully
CIC Hut
Looking up towards No3 Gully
Orion Face and Observatory Ridge
Looking up No5 Gully. Lone climber at the bottom in the narrows
