Today I was back out with Rob, Ian and
Chaz for more winter climbing on their Intro Winter Climbing course.
Today we opted for a route out of the wind and headed into Beinn Bhan
in Applecross. This gully is a fantastic deep gash in the mountain
which led onto the A' Chioch Ridge. Conditions in the gully were ok.
A lot of the snow was quite soft and powdery however there was some
bomber ice to swing into. The turf was pretty exceptional too. It
did feel quite spicy in places so I thought it felt a bit more like
grade 3 in the current conditions. We could still do with a bit of a
thaw and re-freeze. But as yesterday, the North West is amazing and
there are some fantastic mountains up here. I cant believe I haven't
spent much time up here!
