I know this isn't really bushcraft related, but i am hoping someone will be able to help with some advice on what to carry up Ben Nevis. I have booked a trip in to Scotland for the middle of April, my friends and I are all capable but have never attempted a mountain. We are planning to climb the carn mor dearg to assend onto BN. What I would like to know is what kit anyone could recomend. I have the basics covered like waterproof's, Boots, Food and Stove just in case. Should I be taking my sleeping bag and bivi bag in case we can't get off the mountain or will a good emergency foil blanket do instead. I have a gps map and compass and i know how to use them, all will be in the bag in case something happens to the gps. I have also read that walking poles are best left at home for the CMD as they can hinder as some scrabling is on route.
If anyone has any has done this route before i would be greatfull for any words of wisdom.
Cheers Stan
