Snowy on Ledge Route, Ben Nevis

Ken: Given that Jess comes from Singapore, where it’s 30 degrees C and the highest hill in the country is 164m, she did fantastically well to cope with deep drifts of snow up Ledge Route, to reach the summit of Ben Nevis, today.

It was surprisingly quiet in Coire na Ciste, but a few teams followed us in and headed up towards No. 3 Gully Buttress, with one team on what looked to be Arthur. Quite a few teams also making steady progress up Tower Ridge. There were plenty of people enjoying another glorious day on the summit.
