Another day in Paradise








North Face of the Ben


Surveying our route

It has been another absolutely incredible day today here in the Highlands. Today Karolina, Matt and I headed up the East Ridge of Carn Dearg Meadhonach (II), this time with the precaution of plenty of sun cream!! The snow was bullet hard neve the whole route and the ridge gave us a wonderful Alpine style journey where we looked at rope and belay techniques for winter mountaineering and just gawped at the views from the top once again. The North Face of the Ben looked good and there were teams climbing Tower Ridge, Ledge Route, Point 5 and folks heading into the bottom of Zero Gully.
