Freezing above 1100m on Ben Nevis (Saturday, January 25, 2020 - 17:25)
I was back on Ben Nevis today, this time with Neil and James and we climbed No. 3 Gully Buttress, which despite the thaw, was holding on to snow and ice quite well. The first pitch still has a short...

Thompson's, Tower Ridge and top pitch of Indicator Wall (Wednesday, January 22, 2020 - 17:11)
With a bit of a thaw in progress, picking have been a bit slim over the past couple of days, but there are still some excellent adventures to be had, particularly on Ben Nevis. I've been out...
Disco Corner, Mullach nan Coirean (Sunday, January 19, 2020 - 18:00)

Winter climbing conditions are quite tricky at the moment, with a fairly high freezing level and thin snow cover. Today's forecast didn't help an awful lot, with high winds due to come in...
That's a bit more like it! Tower Ridge, Ben Nevis (Thursday, January 9, 2020 - 18:17)

Plenty of snow on Western Rib, Aonach Mor (Monday, December 16, 2019 - 20:43)
Sarah and I enjoyed a brilliant day on Western Rib on Aonach Mor today! The approach was fairly tough going and a fair bit of spindrift was pouring both down and back up the route at various times...
West Coast Ridges (Saturday, December 14, 2019 - 17:45)
It's been a busy old week, as we kicked off our winter courses this week. I was out with our Winter Mountaineering Course and on Wednesday, we made an ascent of the East Ridge of Beinn a'...
