Awesome photos, looks like it was an epic trip. However, I'd like to see the photos from Saturday night too. I heard it was nearly as exciting

What was the final route you took over the 2 days?

What the hell was this guy doing (apart from being mental)

Pretty much just being mental! He ran up to the summit ate a flap jack (actually spat most of it all round the place), Told us he was injured so this was his alternative training programme, got me to take a picture of him, checked out our map (he didn't have one) then ran into the distance limbs-a-flailing! He just known as "Crazy legs".

Crazy legs is god.


The route was pretty straight forward really.
We Started at the youth hostel at the foot of the ben and taxied it to the start of the trail to steall falls/ruin. We then head up Aonach Beag(1200+m) ane then on to Aonach mor . We camp in the middle. Next day we drop to the col head up the first arete to the summit of Carn mor dearg. form here we crossed the ridge untill we can to Ben nevis and one final push to the summit.
