Description

Proceeds from the CIC Hut trail up the burn towards Carn Beag Dearg summit, then along the ridge past Carn Dearg Meadhonach and Carn Mor Dearg for which the arete route is named. Curve the rest of the way around Coire Leis up a steep slope rising the remaining 300m to the summit of Ben Nevis.
