The 700-metre (2,300 ft) high cliffs of the north face are among the highest cliffs in the United Kingdom, they provide classic scrambles and rock climbs of all difficulties for climbers and mountaineers. The summit of Ben Nevis comprises a large stony plateau of about 40 hectares (100 acres). The summit, which is the collapsed dome of an ancient volcano, features the ruins of an observatory which was continuously staffed between 1883 and 1904.
Ben Nevis's altitude, maritime location and topography frequently lead to cool and cloudy weather conditions, which can pose a danger to ill-equipped walkers. The mean monthly temperature for the year is −0.5 °C (31.1 °F). Fog is present on the summit for almost 80% of the time between November and January.
