Ledge route, Ben Nevis

A guide to this scrambling route on Ben Nevis, grade 1 scramble. A much nicer way to experience Ben Nevis than the tourist Track

Really nice route. Takes me back a few years. I stopped scrambling for a while after I had kids but now they are getting older I'm getting itchy feet. I think this video captures why people love the mountains so much. Thanks for sharing.

Did this in the snow and honestly thought was going to die 😂 first mountain climb. Took us 5 hours to get to the summit. 9.5 to get back to the car

Thanks for sharing, I’m planning on doing this in July for my first ascent of Ben Nevis.

Great video, thanks, used it as a guide on my phone today to climb the route, was actually a bit easier than I was expecting.

Glad it helped!

@@ianshaw6112 Is this easier than the arete? I've done the tourist route but I'm petrified of exposure so not sure if I could do this?

[@michaelshaw9029]

@@donuttime2507 it's probably a bit tougher than the CMD arete to be honest. The fin is a bit exposed. Maybe some lighter stuff might be preferable first, especially if you struggle with exposure. Maybe Ben cruachan? It has a bit of a grade 1 scramble up to the summit, or stuck a chrion is the same. Cheers.

Excellent views 🎉

[@charlesrobert9527]

A great day for it. The music seemed apt and definitely added to the video. Not always keen on music background but this time it seemed just right.

[@praszu]

Looks doable. I think your camera makes it look more steep? I think I will skip the ledge though.

[@stevehorner8302]

Nice vlog , but i hate music banging on in the background

[@Alexander-uj5pb]

Your castle ridge vidoe was much better, much less use of the go pro. However, wonderful videos just the same.

[@simonmaughan5383]

Looks a canny scramble

Wish the go pro didnt distort the picture so much.
