Winter Remains on BEN NEVIS : The UK's Highest Peak

[@John71]

Thank you Murray, Gerry, Mark, what an amazing video, so very beautiful, This walk has been on my bucket list for years, not the climb but just to walk up past the bothy and see the North Face. I will do it one day 😁 The frozen lochan was beautiful too. Loved this video a lot, shows how impressive it really is, amazing!

[@redbarron7293]

What a great bunch of mates having a wonderful day out on an iconic mountain…..a fantastic view. Thanks again Murray for bringing us along.

[@moody9931]

I'm really gonna miss the snow. It's the only part of winter I enjoy. Changes everything up those hills.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Always nice to see white topped hills with blue sky - hard to beat :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@marilynchivers4730]

A day out on the mountains with good friends. Perfect 👌. Amazing shots & entertaining banter. Thanks for letting us join you. 🎉

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Marilyn - it was a grand trip :)

It's Wednesday evening and it's Scotlands Mountains, what a belter Murray throughly enjoyed that one. Thanks as always Brian.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Brian - very much appreciated Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@jbairdexp]

The Ben Nevis "glacier" was awesome! Those winter hikes really do show up some proper winter gems. 🙂

[@GaryGough]

I’ve never held my breath as much. There is no way I’d even contemplate such a climb. Hat off to you, Mark and Jerry. Top drawer as always xx

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Gary - it was in nice condition given the time of year - nice to get some snow climbs in (eventually ) thius year! lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@tonystrange7224]

Amazing north face route up the Ben. And was it just me thinking the ice sculpture looked like a frozen woolly mammoth. Interesting on the summit how many didn’t seem to have crampons or proper footwear for the conditions, even though they came up the tourist route.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

It’s an amazing icefall :)

[@TheSoloSummiteer]

Awesome video Murray. Some incredible footage there. Absolutely loved it. ATB 🙏🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏔️

[@ross077]

Spring really can deliver an extraordinary variety conditions in the Scottish Highlands if you're willing to go high enough. Thanks for doing so Murray and glad you got such a cracking day for this outing.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Ross - it’s definetly my favourite time of the year for the mountains 🏔️ as you say you can get a bit of every season thrown in at the moment :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@highlandexplorer990]

Wowwww 🤩 this looks like it was such a fun adventure!! Despite it being spring, it's wild to see that much snow still up there ❄ Gotta love that classic Scottish weather 😂. That number two Gully looks intense! Thanks for sharing this awesome climb 👍

[@hotbeefo]

No.2 had a right massive soft cornice on it when i did it in Jan last year. Good effort by your pal leading it.

[@patriciarichards87]

Wonderful x Great to see the camaraderie between you all. When you share a fantastic day, it bonds you forever x

[@alasdairmacdonald6730]

Fantastic video. It's been a long time since I did any snow tramping but that looked like more than I'd ever been comfortable on. Chapeau! I loved the stillness of the gully with the clouds scudding over in the blue sky.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Alasdair - must admit it was a fine day and really nice to get a last but if snow fun before it melts away or gets too mild :) Thanks for watching M

What a Magnificent Mountain is The Ben.

[@vincentkrause7097]

Epic climb! Reminds me of my climb of Tower Ridge in March 5 years ago in similar late winter conditions

[@bri7530]

when I seen you were on the Ben at the weekend with your clip on Insta I was looking fwd to this video..superb as always and glad yous got the conditions so late in the season..well that was my Wednesday night fix sorted ,cheers for that Murray , mark and the classy Mountain pundit Gerry Mcknee 🤣

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks :) and Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@marcomclean3605]

I can always remember hiking past it when I was finishing the WHW three years ago in mid May and it was completely covered in snow, I'll bet the snow can hang around in the gullies throughout the year if it's not subjected to the rays of the sun. Another fantastic video and thanks again.

[@thesolidsnakealpha]

Breathtaking in every sense of the word. Thanks for taking us with you ,Murray! Btw, hows the knee? Does it still give you problems? God bless

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thank you. Knees have been fine - however had been a little sore before and after this hike as being doing a lot of hiking ! However been doing my physio and stretching religiously and adding some Tape when they are sore - also taking lots of Tumeric and Moringa and this week the knee has recovered perfectly - all ready for another adventure this weekend :)

[@MaliDaviesPhotography]

I think I get more of a thrill than most being terrified of heights, when watching 😁, well bloody done chaps, loved the banter! The view at the bottom with the boulder, wow! That would do me. Really enjoyed Murray 👍

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Cheers Mali - it is a unique place in Scotland and the scale is a different level to most other mountains - wish there were a few other Ben Nevis type mountains :) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

@@ScotlandsMountains Day's like that live long in the soul and mind, i was lucky to be over in the Torridon's not long ago with a similar blessed couple of days. The high pressure days in late Winter/early Spring are brilliant for the vis, stunning views, no haze.

Thanks Erin / top of Ben Nevis not the best place for solitude as I’m sure you know ;) it was a fantastic day and we hit the jackpot with the weather for sure :) Thanks for watching Murray

[@timrosenburgh8597]

Another great video Murray. It was nice to see you out and about with Gerry and Mark. A stroke of luck with the footprints from a previous climber. That cornice looked dodgy and well done Mark for getting to the to first. I couldn't believe how many people were there who obviously came up the donkey track. Look forward to the next mate. Stay safe.

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Tim - the refrozen footprints certainly helped alot and aided progress (apart from at the cornice - which was well dispatched by Mark :)) Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@WilliamBell-t8k]

The way up from the golf club looks to be much less of a quagmire than it was when I did that route. Has it been 'improved'? Bill

[@ScotlandsMountains]

You can get to the Nirth Face from the NF car park at Torlundy or a little further along from the ski centre meaning you don’t have to walk across the golf course (I haven’t crossed the course for many years !

[@bethlowell7336]

What a great adventure. I always get anxious when you’re climbing almost straight up on the snow or ice, but I know you all are such professionals and you would never endanger yourselves purposely. Thanks for sharing. Safe travels. 🥰🥰

[@ScotlandsMountains]

Thanks Beth - always safe as can be - I always say the most dangerous thing I did on that day was the drive to the mountain - much more things can go wrong doing 60mph in a tin bucket but we get normalised to driving so we dont see it as risky - unfortunately the stats say other wise:( Thanks for watching ATB Murray

[@bethlowell7336]

@@ScotlandsMountains Yes, you’re so right about road safety or lack of it. I live in the US and go to Scotland every year. I drive but I’m always aware of the danger. I usually get up to the Highlands where I feel there is less traffic, but over the years, even that area is becoming too crowded for my liking, thanks to the NC500. Safe travels🥰

[@kristin8932]

Okay, so as I watch this from steamy, humid Texas, I'm not envious at all. 😂My gosh the Northern lights with the stars. Right after you put your crampons on, as y'all were headed to Gulley #2, you passed an ice formation that had formed on that rock. Kinda hard to put into words how beautiful that was. Once you guys ascended to the top (and nope, I didn't see you use a knee lol!) and you were looking at the North side - wow. Thanks Murray, got my day off to a great start.
