Day 2 on the Ben started with a lie in until 6.30am! The weather was great and we decided to start with a bumble up Ledge Route (II). It was fun, and quiet (surprisingly) putting us on top of Ben Nevis by 9.30am.

| 'Stecking' up Ledge Route! |
Weirdly there seemed to be fewer climbers out today even though the weather was better.
 |
| On the top of Ledge Route by 9.30am (1hr 45 mins from CIC) |
 |
| On the way down we spotted Conan going through (?battling/digging) the cornice on Central Gully (III.IV) |
We headed down to the hut and cleared up our kit as a group of Italians were arriving for the week. We drank tea for a while and finished off the wine (well not carrying it out!) before heading home.

P.S. Whilst at the CIC hut I tried to get some cool night shots with my new camera and failed (need to learn more about photography). Tim (Kearsey) took some cool shots, see above.
