The Ben nevis big three
The Ben Nevis big three is the three main ridges, Castle ridge, Tower ridge and North East buttress in three days. Three super classic routes and three amazing days.
Climb these classic routes with the safety and comfort of a local guide.
Castle Ridge is easiest of the three Ben Nevis ridges but it still packs a good punch and provides a great introduction to the following ridges.
"A fine outing"
Tower ridge is quite possibly the most famous mountaineering outing in the UK, described in Cold Climbs as "the best days climbing to be had on these islands, on the biggest single piece of rock, on the highest mountain." It was first climbed in winter in 1894 but it is still every bit the great outing it was then.
North East Buttress is described in Cold Climbs as "A Dazzling white shoulder that sweeps down onto the Carn Mor Dearg Arete," steeped in history you will get to experience all the features that give this magnificent climb its huge reputation and character. The Man-trap and the 40ft corner are just two of the famous pitches that give North East Buttress it's reputation as a classic must do.
