Emergency shelter , Ben Nevis Summit

Finally bagged Ben Nevis today after a couple of failed attempts in winter conditions and with crampons and ice axes. Very different today.....beautifully clear, tho very windy on top.
My husband has ice climbed up many routes and gulleys and was able to point them all out to me. He once sheltered in this emergency hut with his climbing partmer for a few hours in a white out blizzard ....and left 2 blokes intending to spend the night there with a bottle of whiskey....it was New Years Eve!!!! Thankfully, Frank got down to tell the tale! See extras for more scenic views!
