1-day Ben Nevis ascent via the Ledge route

Conquer Scotland’s iconic mountain Ben Nevis, which guards over the Scottish Highlands.

This exciting 1-day adventure is a summer scramble, but can also be adapted as a winter mountaineering ascent.

Standing at 1,345 meters above sea level, it is the highest mountain in the United Kingdom.

As a grade I listed route, this is a brilliant introduction to scrambling, and we’ll take the easiest route that ascends the north face of Ben Nevis.

We’ll take the Ledge route, one of the best of its kind in Britain. It offers a bit of everything. We weave a line up Carn Dearg Buttress, leading to a narrow ridge, before finally reaching the summit on the Ben Nevis plateau.

The cliffs of the north face are some of the highest in Scotland, making it a classic space for scrambling. We’ll travel through some incredible nature scenery.

The peak of Ben Nevis was formed from the collapsed dome of an ancient volcano. It now features the remnants of an observatory, which was managed between 1883 and 1904.

This trip is suitable for people with some experience of hillwalking. Despite many guidebooks describing the climb as grade II, it is low enough for me to give it a grade I.
