Ben Nevis (North cliff) beta 13-Apr-2015 At 8:50:14 AM jdb

Dear JDB,

1) Yes, the dirt roads are excellent from either direction (ie Beaufort and Buangor)
2) The bolts are excellent well spaced stainless steel
3) See 2
4) Don't bother

Note: Big Ben (if you can find it) is one of the best slab/face climb I've ever done. I would recommend combining the second and third pitches. As for finding 'said' route (we erected a cairn on the ramp), the climb starts on top of a ramp, so when you are descending down the scrubby gully keep and eye out.

Take the slab-meister Martin Jackson with you, because there are zero holds on the 2nd an 3rd pitches!!

Hope this beta is useful.

Cheers, JDB
