| The final slopes to The Ben, superb visbility |

| And to end a wonderful day........ |
What a glorious day! Wall to wall sunshine, not even a breeze, white mountains and a dazzling sun. The best day of the winter.....so far. It was really warm and lovely strolling along the CMD arete onto Ben Nevis today. Just a couple of thin layers and sunglasses was the order of the day. The clarity of air was superb and another fine day for photographs. There is a good covering of snow along Carn Mor Dearg, most of the boulders above 900m are now well buried and the arete is starting to get an excellent covering, especially at the western end where there are some wonderful wee cornices and aretes. There was a temperature inversion this morning with the cloud lingering in the Great Glen/Fort William. I lingered along the arete and got to the summit of the Ben at 4pm in wonderful light. With a wonderful sunset and a full moon rising it was a perfect end to an exceptional day!
