Y GULLY, CRUACH ARDRAIN





What a fantastic day here in The Highlands. Doug & I were climbing the wonderful Y Gully on Cruach Ardrain above Crianlarich. We went up the left hand option on the obvious gully in the centre of the North face of the hill, at grade 2. Excellent variation of conditions all the way up, from an ice pitch to windslab and neve. The sun shone from dawn to dusk and with a light breeze it was positively Alpine again. The route was untouched and we saw no one all day, even on the ridge down.
Great conditions the last 2 days for walking, climbing & skiing, what a wonderful place to be.

Hiya, I came across your piece about Y-gully through a bit of googling, but I was wondering where you parked and approached from?

Cheers.
