Ben Nevis Ridges

The weekend has been amazing warm weather, ideal for being in the mountains. Dave has been out on Ben Nevis with Charmaine helping her prepare for a trip to the Alps this summer.

Day 1, the team headed for Tower Ridge for Charmaine’s first ascent of Ben Nevis and first views of the North Face.  Tower Ridge was fairly quiet with 3 RAF MRT teams which the team passed, had lunch, and passed again on the outside of the chimney after the eastern traverse. The team finished the day with a walk around the summit and a descent of the tourist path.

Day 2, up Castle Ridge and down Ledge Route was the objective, and it gave a tremendous day out with no one else on Castle and one other team who were sunbathing on Ledge Route.

For those of you looking to ascend Ben Nevis, we offer guided ascents for both mountaineers and for walkers:
Guided Ascents of Tower Ridge, which is £250 on a 1:1 basis and an additional £20 for a second person.

We also offer private guiding for other routes on Ben Nevis and the rest of the Scottish Highlands.
