Story
Eikon’s Ring of Steal and Ben Nevis Challenge is based upon a real classic mountain route set in the Mamores mountains of Scotland. Eikon has made it even more of a classic by adding Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in the UK. The challenge takes in 6 munros, has 2,600m of ascent and is a very demanding walk of approx 33km.
Our aim will be to complete the challenge within 15 hours. It is set in some of the most remote, dramatic and beautiful landscape that Scotland has to offer.
