Ben Challum



Club Sunday.

7 showed up for a walk out and Ben Challum was decided upon at the car park at Crainlarich mainly due to the fact that 4 of the 7 hadn't been up the hill before (myself included)
Crampons and ice axes were carried but ultimately not used even though by 700 - 800m or so the ground was very solid and the patchy snow cover was iced solid on the North facing banks of the hill. At 3 hours we had a very leisurely wander to the top through more snow than any of us imagined, great views in all directions and the wander back down again saw us back at the car in 5 hours. Easy Peezy Lemon Squeezy day under great pleasant wintry conditions.
