Ben Udlaith ice climbing


I'm heading North this week, hoping for some good early winter conditions in Scotland - the above is on Ben Udlaith , Glen Orchy a few Christmas's ago - plenty of water runs over the plateau and given a week or so of hard frosts gives excellent ice pitches at low altitude and easy access.
Any time in the winter mountains at Christmas though will be welcome - it always has a special atmosphere especially when you can get off the beaten track and wander the wild mountains.
