Climbing Ben Nevis in February
A. There will be arctic temperatures with deep lying snow on the summit of Ben Nevis - see Walks:
- in February, obliterating the path and forming very dangerous cornices.
You will need full winter kit including Ice Axe and crampons. Ben Nevis is a serious undertaking at any time of year (just ask anyone who has climbed it) and - forgive me for saying so - but you do not sound like you have sufficient experience to tackle this kind of walk in the middle of winter.
My advice is don't go.
See Climbing Ben Nevis in March and Ben Nevis In Early November for more information.
Hope this helps
