East Ridge of Beinn a Chaorainn

Today I was out climbing on the East Ridge of Beinn a Chaorainn. A description for this excellent grade 2 ridge route can be found in the Ben Nevis guidebook. The mountain is located near Creag Meagaidh.

Conditions on the route were good. All turf above 820 metres was frozen. There was large amounts of snow on the route including some areas of good neve.

Snow cover on the broad descent ridge was good and could have provided a good ski descent to around 600 metres.
