Tomas Gafrik, from Slovakia, was last heard from on Thursday morning when he shared a video on social media while half way up the peak.
Rescuers were called out and have been working around the clock to find Tomas before snow and heavy winds kick in on Monday.
The rescue team said forecasts for Ben Nevis on Monday predict 50-80mph winds with extensive heavy snow.
The latest search comes after two hillwalkers fell to their death last week.
A 37-year-old died on Thursday on Spidean a’Choire Leith – the highest summit of 3,461 ft Liathach in Torridon.
And last Sunday Richard Armstrong, 42, from Wigton, Cumbria, plunged nearly 100ft on the way up 3278ft Stob Ban on the south side of Glen Nevis in Lochaber.
Mr Armstrong was pronounced dead at the scene and his body was recovered in a six-hour operation by the Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team during the height of Storm Dennis.
