Yeah - I think we are going to re-do the CMD arete at some point and change the start to the new(ish) North Face car park which will mean avoiding that climb - better views and the only disadvantage maybe is not visiting the CIC hut.


Hey Paul,

One day in the distant future when My kids are older and my legs dont hurt anymore ;-), i will probably take the North Face Car Park route up with my boys.

Hey Magicdin, we stayed about 35 minutes south of Glen Nevis at a camp site called Red Squirrel. We tend to look for campsites that allow fires. The wood was provided free but it was a bit wet. Couple of Bags of kindling later roaring fire.

The camp site was friendly, beautiful, clean and about 3 meters deep for swimming. The campsite was well worth the drive to the mountain.
