Scottish Winter – Ben Nevis and Glen Coe February 2025
February 15, 2025 - February 19, 2025
Information
Join us again for another trip North… returning to Glen Nevis with views to climb on the Ben and in Glen Coe. Whilst Scottish winter is always serious, there can be options for introduction into this discipline… Get in touch with Jim early as he may be able to lend you some ice axes.
Services
Fort William offers all required services including food, cash and kit (including kit hire if you get in touch early enough – most gear shops will rent out crampons and ice axes).
Accommodation
SYHA Glen Nevis… we stayed here last year and it was recently refurbished… and very comfortable. https://www.hostellingscotland.org.uk/hostels/glen-nevis/
Food
Plenty of shops to buy breakfast and lunch… The SYHA has a members’ kitchen and a canteen that provides breakfast only. Bring your own or we may visit a pub…
Transport
Car is best… get in touch with Jim if you need a lift and we will see what we can do. Trains to Fort William are frequent from England.
Itinerary
It will all depend on weather and avalanche conditions but the dream is to climb on the north face of the Ben… No II Gully being a good introduction to that whole arena. Plenty to go at if conditions are good.
