                                                                                                                                                                                                             What the day includes -
With an early start from the North face car park we will hike up Carn Mor Dearg ( CMD ) our first munro of the day. With outstanding views into the north face of the Ben, a view not many hill walkers see.
A steady pace will be set in the morning as we have a good bit of distance and ascent to reach our first summit, Carn Mor Dearg.
                                                                                                                                                                                                      Once we have reached our first munro we will stop for a break & refuel before heading over the arête. This grade one scramble offers an excellent ascent to reach Ben Nevis, nothing to technical but a head for heights and previous scrambling experience is a must.
                                                                                                                                                                                                     Once across the Arete we will ascend the Boulder field taking us up to the summit of Ben Nevis. After a break we will head off back down the tourist route, with a good walk out from here splitting off the main path by the half way lochan and working our way back down to the North Face car park.
