Got to cmd summit after 3 hours had a quick cup of tea and spoke to 4 fellow walkers then headed down the arete no more photos as camera packed in.

Got to the summit of the ben after a further 2 hours after a mini snow blizzard lasted 20 minutes halfway along the arete

Stayed on the bens summit 5 minutes then headed down the track home. :D
