What a great bunch of mates having a wonderful day out on an iconic mountain…..a fantastic view. Thanks again Murray for bringing us along.

I’ve never held my breath as much. There is no way I’d even contemplate such a climb. Hat off to you, Mark and Jerry. Top drawer as always xx

Thanks Gary - it was in nice condition given the time of year - nice to get some snow climbs in (eventually ) thius year! lol Thanks for watching ATB Murray

Thank you Murray, Gerry, Mark, what an amazing video, so very beautiful, This walk has been on my bucket list for years, not the climb but just to walk up past the bothy and see the North Face. I will do it one day 😁 The frozen lochan was beautiful too. Loved this video a lot, shows how impressive it really is, amazing!

Murray - oh what a great day - classic!

I'm really gonna miss the snow. It's the only part of winter I enjoy. Changes everything up those hills.

The Ben Nevis "glacier" was awesome! Those winter hikes really do show up some proper winter gems. 🙂

Amazing north face route up the Ben. And was it just me thinking the ice sculpture looked like a frozen woolly mammoth. Interesting on the summit how many didn’t seem to have crampons or proper footwear for the conditions, even though they came up the tourist route.

Okay, so as I watch this from steamy, humid Texas, I'm not envious at all. 😂My gosh the Northern lights with the stars. Right after you put your crampons on, as y'all were headed to Gulley #2, you passed an ice formation that had formed on that rock. Kinda hard to put into words how beautiful that was. Once you guys ascended to the top (and nope, I didn't see you use a knee lol!) and you were looking at the North side - wow. Thanks Murray, got my day off to a great start.

Great views, thanks men.

Amazing footage and content as always Murray. Love your content but your cam as you guys were getting near the top was giving me the fear alright 😂. Love it ❤

I can always remember hiking past it when I was finishing the WHW three years ago in mid May and it was completely covered in snow, I'll bet the snow can hang around in the gullies throughout the year if it's not subjected to the rays of the sun. Another fantastic video and thanks again.

Fabulous video 🏔️! The climb looked amazing 🏔️! Job well done!
