Yes, but it is surprising easy to get separated and then make a mistake trying to put it right.
I remember reading about a one of a group on the top of the Ben.
As they moved off to come down in bad visibility he took a bit longer to get his waterproof on by which time he could no longer see the rest of the group. He ended up falling into one of the gullies and was there for more than a day until the MRT found him.
He said once he had lost sight of his group he should have shouted for them or asked someone else if he could go down with them but instead he tried to catch up with his mates and took a tumble.
