Well today was another bluebird day. Although if you wanted peace and solitude then Ben Nevis was the place to be. I was surprised given the weather and conditions not to have seen more people but the hill seemed almost empty today. Perhaps it was people avoiding the idea of a scrum on a bank holiday weekend. We headed up the central cascade and then had a look at the nuts and bolts of some snow anchors and belays before heading down and Marissa putting things into practice on a short pitch.
Great weather and conditions and plenty to do on the Ben !
Today I was working for Alan Kimber, West Coast Mountain Guides
