Someone is very, very disappointed in Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.

A TripAdvisor reviewer, GrimTraveller, slated the mountain in a review entitled, ‘Very steep and too high.’

Ben Nevis, which at 4,409ft is the highest in the British Isles, is well known for being both steep and high.

GrimTraveller, however, was not impressed - noting also the lack of facilities, and the inconvenient clouds at the summit.

He wrote, ‘After going up Mount Snowdon by train in Wales I'd forgotten just how high some mountains can get. And they don't come much higher than this one - that's for sure. LOL!

‘This was almost a FULL day's climbing and my girlfriend was crying at one point. When we did get to the top there was nothing there (Mount Snowdon has a pub, restaurant and toilets at its top). Luckily we had brought some sandwiches and drinks, so anyone else climbing this one - BE WARNED- there are NO facilities at the top.

‘The long walk back down was boring and again took too long. It was a great relief to get back to our B&B in Fort William for a hot soapy bath and the joys of a flushing toilet with soft toilet rolls.

‘This attraction is free but I honestly couldn't imagine anyone - and I mean anyone - paying to climb this.
