MJ Mountaineering

Winter was still in full swing on Ben Nevis on Monday. There was in fact a lot of fresh snow and a “Considerable” avalanche forecast and so we decided to head up to Coire Leis and climb “Cresta”. This proved a good choice as it gave a long and adventurous route up a surprisingly big face, finishing just 10m below the summit. No summit view (of course) and we decided to descent via the zig zags rather than risk Number 4 Gully.
