This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.
Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.
NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

The Station House has reopened with SYHA running it as a B&B serving food and drink, I think it is open from 0830 until 2200. Nice
place to wait until the train arrives. Check the SYHA website.
We were up and down this hill in under 3 hours from the youth hostel. The path was very dry but it looked like it would be a bit muddy after a lot of rain. The best thing is the view from the top.

Came in from the north, parking at Fersit in Glen Spean. Good paths for most of the way though boggy in bits. Approx 27k/ 9 hours with some great views. A nice alternative not requiring the use of any trains. In summer Chno Dearg and Stob Choire Sgriodain could easily be taken in.

Tried to follow MM's GPS route, but ended up in a plantation surrounded by deer fences and were forced to double back. Apparantly there is a style, but best route was up the clear path where the track splits (to Tulloch). The Station Tearoom is nice (and the prices reflect the remoteness)

Started at head of loch, followed the soggy path to the sky line and then up to the summit which as per usual was covered in cloud so couldn't see anything. This didn't dampen our spirts as we had done Carn Dearg and Sgor Gaibhre the day before in good conditions, windy but great views over Bed Alder and the whole of the Rannoch region.
Whatever you do, do not walk in from Rannoch station, get the train to Corrour station and this turns into a superb day. In fact if you get the early train (9.05) you can capture Carn Dearg, Sgor Gaibhre and Beinn na' Lap in one day without too much effort!!
