Ben Vorlich itself was a fairly leisurely walk up until the main climb, then an icy path up to the final ascent, and finally past the snow line at about 900m. There was just enough time for a spot of ice-climbing practice before we reached the top.

Ben Vorlich
Our first trip up Ben Vorlich. We had been aiming for Ben Lawers but whilst driving up the steep, single-track approach road to the Ben Lawers car park, deciding to stop due to wheel slipping on the ice, and then sliding backwards for three meters on the completely iced over road, we decided to abort and go elsewhere.
