Y Gully Cruach Adrain, 16th March 2008

Myself, Mark and Stevie drove to Crianlarich to climb Y Gully on Cruach Adrain, our first outing after our winter skills day on the Ben. Our route, when we finally got there, was the left hand gully of the Y. I say finally got there, after crossing streams, fences and snow drifts!

And speaking of crossing fences! You'll need to play the video to see if Stevie makes it or not? The gully itself wasn't too challenging, in fact as a grade 1, we could've done it unroped. However it turned out to be great practice doing ice axe belays. Also turned out a glorious day with stunning views. And one of those views was of Ben Lui (above), which we planned to visit the following week.
