The LEDGE ROUTE is a mild Grade I/II scramble, but it is not a hill walk. It isn't particularly committing, but because of its length and situation it is unsuitable for novices. Ledge Route on Ben Nevis is one of the best ways up Britain’s highest mountain in winter. It’s a great summer scramble, transformed into something much more serious in winter. At Grade II, it’s not a highly technical winter route but that takes nothing away from its quality. The guidebooks give it four stars (amazing views).
Apparently it’s the same grade of scrambling as the CMD Arête and is technically a more direct route to the summit from the North Face. However, it’s easy to accidentally find yourself in the middle of a rock climbing route if you don’t know where you’re going. Plus, the Ledge Route is considered a one way route by almost everyone ...
