« Ice Factor 16-02-12
Great End, Lakes 18-02-12 »

Ben Nevis 17-02-12

Published February 18, 2012

Yesterday we did Tower Scoop on the Ben.  The route was in great condition still as were many of the higher ice routes.  Snow was blowing in from the West and the rock was looking fairly white when we left.  Steeper mixed routes may be worth a look…

Observatory Gully and Ridge behind

With fresh snow blowing in and some wind slab building in Tower Gully we abbed of some ice threads at the top of the Scoop.
