Hi there. I cant Join you I'm afraid but want to encourage you to have a go! If the weather is good, I'm sure there is a chance you will see someone on the trail.
B N B would be fine for a begginer. Just keep an eye on the weather and go prepared. You dont need 'climbing' expertese for either, but a head for heights on the A E ridge is needed. And route finding if its cloudy. Both are fantastic days out, and not nearly as tough once the winter conditions are out of the way.
