Aonach Mor

This was my first time climbing in Scotland, so I was very excited about it. Luckily enough, the weather was fantastic for the entire week, with loads of snow from low altitudes. Had a great time climbing some of the classic Scottish routes.

Took a right turn (south) after that and started climbing towards Aonach an Nid. Headed south-southwest climbing up towards Aonach Mor until about NN192740 (1190m).
