Skiing Number 4 gully on Ben Nevis

March 2023, just before it started snowing again. Absolutely perfect conditions... For climbing! We parked at the North Face Car Park and walked up the path to the CIC Hut on the north side of Ben Nevis. Climbing up Number 4 gave us a real idea of what to expect on the way down. The moral of the story? Turn up your DINs before you ski névé in the shade!

Thank you very much to all the climbers we met on the way up – your encouragement got us over the edge! Special thanks to the extremely friendly chap in the blue helmet for a) your confidence in our skiing (@ 03:42), and b) the great videos from your POV.

Lastly, thank you Alistair for planning and leading a QMD.
