Looks like you got a great day for it. Don't often see a picture of Ben Nevis that looks like it hasn't been taken before but your one looking along the buttresses give it a fresh look. Certainly captures the scale and drama.

Thanks litljortindan, that is very kind! :D It is not exactly difficult to snap dramatic pictures of this mountain. I just pointed the camera....

Now that's a cracker! Great report, I must follow this route when I ever get to do it, looks amazing :D Thanks for posting Silverhills :D Now I know you were dawdling but you never took THAT LONG and I'm sure you claimed a bit more than 8m. :lol: :lol: Better change that and that will improve your stats for the year greatly. It's easily done as I had to change a recent report from a seven metre ascent :lol: :lol:

Thanks Rodmiester! When you go back to these, save them for a good day, the CMD arête is worth it! :D
Haha, I hadn’t even noticed the mistake (swapped height and time taken). That’s now been changed.
