Must do this! Looks fantastic and I want the Navy helicopter to rescue me off the arête, just like I seen on Channel Five's Highland Emergency! :wink:

That's the way to do the Ben, Joe! Funny how all the old cliches and stereotypes come true when you reach the summit from this direction.

to true simon was surreal reaching the summit to be met with the crowds scary on the way down to see so many people ill equiped and with kids etc I am far from a mountain snob but good boots and warm clothes are a must as well as food and water .
