Check out the short video below!
Ben and myself set out early on Sunday the 28th December 2014 to tick my first winter climb of the season, and Ben's first ever!
After an early morning 5am alpine start, we walked in from the North face car park up to the CIC hut to start our route.
The line of the route can be seen as the ridge on the far right of the picture below.
We were met with beautiful views as the sun finally rose over the mountain side and lit up the snow covered slopes.
Once on the route we started moving together up the easier angled slopes, only stopping to pitch the 2 difficult sections, including the "awkward chimney."
The whole route seemed to last a lot longer than the 200m stated in the guide book, with us topping out Carn Mor Deag just as the sun was going down, after a full day of alpine style winter climbing!
