Ben Nevis
Featuring:
The North Face
Ben Nevis, the highest summit in the UK, with its magnificent array of cliffs on its north-east flank, has always been a magnet to mountaineers and walkers from all over the world.
Mistakes navigating from the summit are nearly as famous as the peak itself.
As you can see from this photo of the north face, you can easily get yourself in to trouble. (Photo Credit: Ken Crocket)
I recommend you obtain the guidebook and download this GPS map for added assurance navigating the descent.
