A steady initial climb. |
It was a foggy start to the day. |
The mountain hut. |
First glimpse of the Arete. |
The mountains were huge. |
Simon took a few minutes for a few breathers. But then, so did I. |
Grand views. |
Such grand views. |
Half way up, looking down. |
The Carn Mor Dearg Arete. |
Brocken Spectre. |
Ready for a scramble! |
The Carn Mor Dearg Arete and Ben Nevis. |
Looking over from Carn Mor Dearg. |
Surveying the task ahead. |
Not such a bad route, is it? |
Taking a break. |
Tackling the CMD Arete, was so much fun. |
Looking over the edge of the Arete. |
Favourite view of the day. |
Looking along the CMD Arete, about half way through the traverse. |
Back down the valley. |
Looking back down the Carn Mor Dearg Arete. |
The face of Ben Nevis. |
The narrowest section of the Arete. |
Looking back along the Carn Mor Dearg Arete from the cairn. |
Our first view of the summit. |
Me, on the summit of Ben Nevis. |
The refuge hut and old observatory ruins on the summit of Ben Nevis. |
The summit of Ben Nevis. |
The summit of Ben Nevis. |
My new favourite trail food - Jelly Babies. |
Looking down into Fort William during our descent after sunset. |
