Weather
Ben Nevis is particularly exposed to poor weather and avalanche risk so, on certain days, it may be neccessary to switch to another summit.
Duration
A mountain day can last for up to ten hours, but seven to eight is more typical. The Ice Factor can arrange a shorter, easier day on request.
Numbers On Day
This is an exclusive experience, for just the two of you and your guide.
Spectators
The experience is for paying participants only and therefore spectators are not permitted.
Dress Code
Dress warmly and bring a change of clothes for when you've completed your climb. Wear warm waterproofs if you have them. Lots of thin layers are much more effective than one large bulky layer. All climbing equipment will be provided.
