Ben Nevis, Tower Ridge
On 6th September 1900, Rev. A. E. Robertson and the writer, instead of taking the usual route (to the right) at the Tower, followed a narrow grass ledge to the left; then through a cleft bridged by a large block, and straight up broken rocks to the cairn on the top of the Tower. This route, which is quite simple, would afford an alternative in the event of the steeper rocks on the west side being found in bad condition. If desired, the Tower might even be avoided altogether, and a traverse made into the easy branch of the "Gardyloo Gully."
