Evenng all,
Just thought I’d ask for some advice.....my girlfriend and I are up in Scotland for the next 2 days and we’re looking to do some winter walking/grade 1 routes. Just nice and simple stuff to build confidence as we’re just starting out.
Our plan was to do the CMD Arete, maybe the zig-zags on Gearr Anonach or something around the mamores. And from the weather forecasts, and based on our ability it seemed that ridges would be best to stick to. However, we’ve been looking at the weather and the avalanche forecast and as we aren’t too experienced we are having a tricky time actually deciding on idea to commit to!
So based on the current weather/conditions would anyone have any suggestions? Would the CMD Arete be ok? (Our nav should be ok for the top). Are there any avalanche issues here? And are there any alternatives people might have?
Any help is greatly are appreciated!
