Another fantastic day on the Ben when the forecast was completely wrong. Neil and myself had Castle Ridge (III) to ourselves and fresh snow had covered all tracks of previous ascents. We spent a couple of very enjoyable hours climbing in the sun in thermals. With nothing too hard climbing-wise, great rock gear and belays it was perhaps the most pleasant days climbing I have had for a while. Getting off the top down to the halfway lochan was a bit of a chore due to soft snow overlaying ice and rocks catching crampons.
