Icelandic Alpine Club CIC Meet

Andrew, Halli, Andri and I had the inaugural
Scottish meet of the Icelandic Alpine Club at the CIC hut on Ben Nevis. Conditions were mostly cold and snowy with significant wind slab build up at times. The upper corries were all avalanching at times so we tended to stay low. That being said, Itallian climbers staying at the hut ventured up to Indicator Wall wading through waist deep snow in Obsevatory Gully.

We climbed Fawlty Towers, Castle Ridge, Nerid Gully and the Carn Dearg Cascades. Other climbers climbed Point 5, Hadrian’s Wall, North East Buttress and Gardyloo Gully.
