Friends on West Face of Aonach Mor

Ken, Dave and Hannah from Outward Bound - Loch Eil - Hi Max, here are some pictures of today. The walk in was long but fine despite the soft snow. Finding the routes on the West face is a bit tricky due to the similar nature of the granite ribs and varying snow cover. We set out to climb Western Rib. We moved together over all bar one tricky section (photo of Dave and one of me on the tricky section). The route was in pretty good condition, some soft snow but plenty of frozen turf.

All in all an awesome day! Han :)

Thanks Han for the report.

With the popular East face too dangerous at the moment, the West face is a sensible safer option (but many climbing teams are venturing over to the Cairngorms for daily trips, finding better weather and conditions).
