GUIDED ASCENT OF TOWER RIDGE
Join us for a guided climb on Tower Ridge, highly regarded as the finest mountaineering route in the country, with its length, technicality and exposure make this ridge feel more Alpine in nature. From walking in towards the CIC Hut, you start to realise why it's called Tower Ridge! It dominates the view all the way to the summit of Ben Nevis. A great day out with one of our guides who will make this a very memorable day in the mountains.
Itinerary In Detail
A step-by-step journey through your adventure.
Tower Ridge, Ben Nevis
We plan to meet in the North Face car park for 8.30, chat through equipment and aspirations for the day before heading up to the CIC hut and on towards the Doulas boulder. We then kit up into harness and helmet before we start to tackle the first difficulties of the ridge. We weave and meander between exposed and absorbing sections of the ridge before arriving at the infamous Tower Gap, a feature that will live in the memory for many years to come. The tricky and very exposed down climb is the hardest section of the whole ridge and near the very top. Once negotiated, we make our way to the summit if people wish before descending back down to the cars for a well earned refreshment at the pub!
