First Ascent Podcast

Chasing the Ice on Scotland’s Ben Nevis with Chris Andrews


Listen Later

Jay just got back from a fantastic trip to climb Ben Nevis in Scotland! Of the many incredible climbers that Jay met while staying at the CiC Hut, Chris Andrews was a standout for his knowledge and wisdom of the mountain. 


Today, Chris joins the pod for a unique chat about Scottish climbing. You’ll hear about the ethics of ice climbing in Scotland, how and why tool usage differs on Scottish climbs, Scottish climbing opportunities beyond Ben Nevis, and the best time of year to visit Scotland if you’re chasing good ice conditions.
