@@ScottishMountainGoat I have done it twice and know what it's like. The last time we went via CMD but started at glen Nevis we should have done it from torlundy.

Outstanding video

Superb video mate 👌

Excellent again Kris. A place full of history. Gordon

Brilliantly put together Kris, you should hold one of these videos back and submit it to one of the Mountain Film Festivals. 😁 Kev and I had a right guid night in The CIC Hut before exploring the snow tunnels. 🍻

Cheers Robin! Nice! I take it that it's quite cosy inside? Doesn't look too big from the outside. Would be cool to be sitting in there on a cold winter night with the storms raging outside!

Spectacular as always Kris. Keep up the goid work, love it.

Superb Kris. You are very good a creating content that is very cinematic and dramatic. Looks an amazing place, still to do the Ben!

Marvelous Kris! The views, the trails, the desolation and your cinematography of course.

Followed your route up to the CIC hut on Saturday and headed up to CMD and round to the Ben via arete. My cousin was climbing the same north east face as 5:00 mark. Amazing place

That must have been a fantastic trip Alistair. Did you get up onto CMD from corie leis? I was wondering if there was a route up there. Kudos to your cousin, that's some impressive stuff! Cheers!

@@ScottishMountainGoat straight up from the hut, just pick your way through the rocks. A couple of rests on the way up, it was a long day but it will live forever in my memory.

Kris, Totally love your presentation style…need to start trying out a few new wee things on our vids. That side of the Ben is certainly the unseen for many. Otherworldly isn’t it. D&L

Thanks David/Lisa. I'm never sure if my style is working or not or if people like it, but I guess that's the nature of the youtube beast. Thinking of trying something different myself. You're vids are awesome. Always have a nice relaxing vibe to them! Yeh, that side of the Ben is spectscular! Cheers! Kris.

Great video ☺️ 👍 amazing hike been to Ben Nevis it's an amazing place 😍

@@ScottishMountainGoat I thought it was what inspired the But 'n' Ben. For some reason I thought it was in Ben Nevis - in the comic, - but it turns out it wasn't. I like my bothies - in winter - so loved this, thanks.

Hi Kris, Well done, enjoyed your handling of this classic area. You'll should plan a repeat trip once the hill is in full winter condition just for a bit of contrast. Cheers, Charlie.

Thanks Charlie, you read my mind. Think I'll definitely be back to see it in winter. Would love to see some climbers ascending the icy cliffs. Brave people!

Nice clips. Very dramatic for a straightforward wee stoat.
