    Ledge route of Ben Nevis, starting in Number 5 Gully and ascending part way, then swinging to the right, following the ledges below Carn Dearg, before topping out on Carn Dearg.

    Hard scramble Route in summer, advisable to use a rope if not confident.

    WInter Climbing requires wnter gear and rope work. Although laying protection isnt essential to save ascent time, tieing in togther is advisable for certain parts.

    After ascending you can follow the Mountain Path back down to the Half way Loch, or return via the Carn Mor Dearg if you're feeling energetic and light allows!
