Hi

Anyone climbed Ben Lui recently? Wondered what conditions were like as I wanted to climb Central Gully

Thanks

In reply to DJ:

looking at the SAIS report I would personally steer clear

In reply to DJ:

Snow-magedden. Just don't.

All the big gullies from generally East through North to generally West are bad, bad places to be until there's a substantial degree of thaw and re-freeze. Day out round the two ridges of Ben Lui might be your better choice, but I would expect some hard going in deep wet snow before you get up to the nice frozen stuff.

In reply to DJ:

Even sticking to the ridges on Ben Lui in the current snow conditions would be purgatory and probably best avoided until things firm up a wee bit.
