Can anyone help me and tell me when the season ends in Scotland ? A rough idea? I wanted to go ice climbing on the Ben end of this year or begining of the next.

when does the typical season start and end ? 
 

thanks in advance

Of course it all depends on conditions etc, however a very rough guide would be mixed routes will be in condition first, maybe November onwards , the ice routes tend to come in later in the season as they take time to form, Feb/march can be great if conditions are right, just be aware that conditions can be very fickle and they can change by the day so check all the usual conditions pages, here, Facebook etc, look at he forcast and with a bit of luck you could time it right. You could also look back through the logs and see when routes have been ticked etc, that may well give you an idea as well, have a plan b as well
