Central Gully Ben Lui

Had a great day out on Ben Lui near Tyndrum yesterday, going up Central Gully, a grade 1 classic that pops you out right on top of the mountain. Given the long walk-in from the A82 road, it was surprisingly busy. The weather was phenomenal though and the entire day was a success. My helmet had an adventure of it's own however, deciding to decend around 1000ft off the other side of the hill whilst I was having lunch at the top. It was retrieved though and didn't seem any worse for the experience. The central gully route up this hill seems to be a good basic introduction to winter mountaineering for lots of people and is highly recommended.
