Plenty of good info. Good to see another Ben Nevis route up on SP. I've wanted to do this route for a while myself. One thing I would say is that the route is graded Scottish V,4 which is not the same as WI V,4 (as you've quoted). I'd change your grading from WI to Scottish which is the universally accepted system in Scotland for winter climbing. A page for Smiths Route would be good as well :-)
Thanks BigLee! There are so many (beautiful) routes on Ben Nevis. So lots of work to do :-). I've only climbed Smith's wich doesn't have a page, but I'm thinking about making it. So it's just a matter of time.
About the grade. You're right I've changed it. I'm used to the WI system, wich I normally use.
Thank you for your nice comment Nanuls! I will try to add Smith's route soon. Hopefully I will be able to make such beautiful pages as you do, they are the best!
