Ben Nevis climbers Notes

Gary Ravenscroft from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Did Ben, Saturday left visitor centre 05.30a.m. and summited at 08.40 , deepish snow after zig zags so crampons on for last 45/60 mins. Brilliant day 100% clear views. 3.5 hour descent for me was harder than ascent guess cos I'm nearly 67 now!
