Geography & climbing context

Ben Nevis is the highest peak in the UK. The Mountain Track (pony track) from Glen Nevis is a long, steep day hike in all weather; the North Face holds serious winter and rock climbs. Navigation errors in cloud are common—carry a map/compass and turn around if conditions collapse.
