Has anyone experience of climbing Ben Nevis? Considering doing this during the summer.

Is the walk from Fort William to the foot fairly easy and what sort of time am I looking at for ascent and descent?
I've done it.

It's a walking route, rather than a climbing one, if that makes sense. A bit tough in places, but okay if you're reasonably fit and dressed properly. IIRC, it took about 3.5 hours up, much the same down.

I actually found the descent more difficult. Probably due to tiredness, but using different muscles on the way down was challenging
