Glen Nevis and Sgurr a Mhaim from Ben Nevis, Inverness-shire, Scotland.

            Commentary.

Thirteen hours and nearly nine thousand feet of steep climb and descent, laden with 25kg. of equipment, I am exhausted.
Why do I do it? 
Why do I climb to mountain summits?
Is it an inferiority complex?
Do I need this God-like position to boost my self-esteem?
No, probably not.
I just like the view.


We peer over “The Mamores,” Aonach Eagach ridge,
Glencoe and the Bidean nam Bian Range as far as Ben More, Stob Binnein and Ben Cruachan in Argyll.
“The Ben,” commands views of over 120 miles.
Yet it is the “toy aspect” of nearby sites that bemuse-
Nevis Gorge, Steall Falls, Waters of Nevis.
They flesh out a sense of scale.
The southern slopes are relentless, but the view more than compensates!!!
