"I had a day out on the Ben with Paul. Paul introduced me to my first winter climb. We had a fantastic day tackling Ledge Route on the North-East face of Ben Nevis. The route was in great condition and after its completion, I was keen to get more routes under my belt. Thanks Paul!" Steve, KingswinfordCOURSE INFORMATION
