The Charles Inglis Clarke Memorial Hut (usually referred to as the CIC Hut) is an alpine-style mountain hut in the shadow of Ben Nevis' immense North Face. Owned by the Scottish Mountaineering Club, it gives mountaineers quick access to the many excellent routes on the face.

It was built in 1928 by the parents of Charles Inglis Clark who was killed during the First World War.

Surprisingly given its location, there are 26 alpine beds, a full kitchen, a composting toilet and even a drying room. It's possible to stay at the hut, but advanced booking is essential as it is very popular, particularly in winter.

It is worthwhile to climb up to the hut.

A must stop to get some water before heading up (visited once before heading up to the CMD en route to Ben Nevis summit.)
