Green Gully, Ben Nevis






Andy and I broke trail into the Ben today in more heavy snow. We headed up with a range of routes in mind and having looked at the snow conditions decided on Green Gully (IV 3). The snow had been blown around scouring the slopes leading to the foot of the route and the route itself was in great condition with some fat blue ice which was slightly brittle due to the cold temperatures. We topped out in proper Ben weather and navved down in strong winds and blizzard conditions. A great day!
