I was up on the Ben today with Richard again. We made an early start after sleeping well in the car and were at Indicator Wall for 9;30am. A slight storm blew in throughout the day dumping a fair amount of snow, the light winds helped to lift the clouds briefly throughout the day aiding in navigation. The route was pretty thin with less than adequate gear which made for an exciting four pitches! With the bulges not being properly formed we were forced around them lowering the tech grade to 4. I was glad to summit and get back on terra firma but it was a great day nonetheless, Ben Nevis is such an incredible place to be in winter.
