Description:

UPDATE 3: The hostel has sold out of dorm beds. Anyone additional is now probably better off booking their own accommodation.

This meet will be based around Fort William with excellent access to Ben Nevis and Glen Coe and within day trips of Creag Meagaidh, the Cairngorms and the North West Highlands. With luck, conditions may be suitable for winter mountaineering, mixed/ice climbing, munro/corbett bagging, skiing, snow holing, waterproof testing and/or whisky drinking.

Accommodation will be in shared dormitories in the SYHA Hostel Glen Nevis (self catering, food not included). We have also secured the last 4 beds in the CIC hut on Ben Nevis for the night of 20 Feb only (fingers crossed for good conditions).

Please indicate in the comments activities you'd be interested in and any concerns or questions regarding experience, skills or equipment. Or post on the general chat WhatsApp group.

For winter mountaineering you need: an ice axe, crampons, stiff boots. For winter climbing you need: 2 ice axes, crampons, stiffer boots, harness, helmet. For wet conditions you need: a sense of humour.
