Ben Nevis CIC hut week

Monday, April 05, 2010


Giles is just back from an amazing week based at the CIC hut with two clients - Veronica Legg and Zane Denton.
We had a great week despite the attempts of the wind to thwart our efforts on Tuesday when we were one of only two teams to climb.
On Monday in great weather we climbed Tower Ridge and descended No. 4 Gully. On Tuesday we battled to Italian Climb Right Hand in very strong winds and descended by abseil, on Wednesday we climbed a steep Vanishing Gully with an abseil descent down 1934 Route, on Thursday we climbed Orion Direct, we were the only team climbing on the Orion Face and descended via Coire Leis and on Friday we were first on Point Five in sublime conditions. With an 0500 wake up it was worth the effort. We visited the summit of the Ben on 3 occasions.
