Topping out Topping out onto the summit plateau.
You meet some funny people in the cold. This is the first navigation post from the summit. The Ben is notoriously difficult to descend safely from the summit in whiteouts. We had to have two tries ourselves this day. We actually found the summit by staying close enough to the edge to see it, knowing we would end up at the trig point eventually. My friend the navigation post

The highest accomodation in Bitain. Cold, draughty, food is crap,
