what routes did you end up doing on Cul Beag? was it the west face or the north face?

North face. We did about half a route starting in a large gully and outflanking an overhang to the left. The snow was in poor condition and time consuming, so we ended up abbing back down the overhang in the dark.

Been done before by Roger Webb, Chris Cartwright and Martin Hind solo a number of years ago. Should be in the SMC journals somewhere.
