I always take my litter home
But, whoevers in charge of Ben Nevis (and the surrounding hills) should be making an attempt to build up the soil levels on the hillside.
In ecological terms, it’s not long since the last ice sheets left and the forces of erosion (wind, water and temperature) have not yet provided enough of a soil base.
The lack of a sufficient soil base means that there are no trees on the hillsides, except at the lowest levels.
No trees means an exposed hillside.
An exposed hillside means no-where to take shelter from lightning or wind and rain.
That’s what puts me off ever going up there…and I’d hate to be ‘caught short’ on that track😟
