Ben Nevis - March 2007

Duncan and Eva take on the Big Bad Ben (and are joined by Vic)

Much as I would like to be seen as a hero I actually turned back at the headwall of Coire Leis. I was concerned about the very loose snow conditions. The top left picture has an arrow showing where I turned back. Vic and Eva both pressed on up the CMD Aręte and topped out the Big Bad One in a whiteout. Anyway I take my hat off to Vic, she looked up at Coire Leis and said “we’ll go up to the left, because that slope on the right might avalanche”. 60 minutes later there was a noise like an explosion and it DID avalanche!
