Figured it was time to post about this...we hiked up Ben Nevis while in Scotland a couple weeks ago. Easily the highlight of the trip, and certainly an awesome way to end it off!

^ I'm sure its a LOT easier in summer - when we went up it was with crampons and ice picks, as the upper 2000+ feet was all ice. It was also a near white out with snow pouring down near the top, so yea...not so easy. I'd love to do it again in summer time.
