Tower Ridge on Ben Nevis with Ian & Craig

A Blustery Day on Tower Ridge

One of our guests, Craig Bloxham, made a fantastic video during a slightly wild ascent of Tower Ridge last year. It’s not every day I choose to venture onto Tower in such blustery conditions, but having climbed with Ian and Craig before, I knew we could handle the added challenge together. It turned out to be a memorable day, but it was a bit soggy...

Tower Ridge is one of the most iconic and sought-after alpine-style routes in the UK, located on Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain (1,345 m / 4,413 ft). It offers a long, dramatic climb and is often described as Scotland’s finest mountaineering route. However in reality it's one of many, but certainly the finest way of reaching the top of Ben Nevis!
