Point Five Gully Winter CAIRNGORMS | This is not Ben Nevis! | #ThinkWINTER

Our little trip to the magical Cairngorms to climb its wee Point Five Gully in perfect winter conditions. ** PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT ** Point Five Gully (V, 5), classic Scottish Grade V gully on Ben Nevis ___________ #ThinkWINTER - From the Mountaineering Scotland Website: For many of us winter is when our mountains come into their own. Dazzling white snow under blue skies, crisp underfoot with views stretching to forever with crystal clarity; the scrape and bite of crampons on ice, the thunk as a well-swung ice-axe embeds itself securely in perfect snow-ice. Even the white-out, the numbing wind and the face-shredding blizzard are part of the sensory treat that is a Scottish mountain winter. And we love it all. But we have to be honest: many of Scotland’s mountains are serious undertakings, particularly so in winter conditions, and will require skills and equipment beyond those needed for normal summer hill walking. Before starting on winter mountaineering you should first make sure your navigation and hillcraft skills are up to scratch under summer conditions and then look to develop those skills so that you are ready for the added challenges of winter. Mountaineering Scotland runs specific winter navigation courses, winter skills and avalanche awareness courses to help you gain or improve skills.
