North East Ridge of Carn Dearg

Supposedly grade III but seemed way easier. We had bailed from the Western Rib of Aonach Mor because finding the start was difficult as we had got too close to make sense of the topo and I had reservations about the cornice after the monster easterlies of the previous week. NE ridge is on the left.






This view shows the CMD arete and the Minus and Orion faces and major routes of the Ben absolutely caked & frozen into fantastic condition.



Some ghostly raised footprints.
