Hiking
One of the few shortcuts up to the summit of Ben Nevis, I took this path on the way down and fell over due to the lose scree, so be prepared for a bit of a fight if you go up or down.

Hiking
Follow the paths especially when near the top as it is a drop on either side. The cairns make the safe route to follow especially in bad weather with snow or then the cloud rolls over which is most days of the year
