Help me to identify a ridge scramble from my vague description

A few years back, I was checking out videos on Youtube of scrambles and I was trying to describe a particularly scary one to my wife and failing abysmally.

1) I'm pretty certain it is British
2) Very exposed
3) At the most exposed section, there is a ~3-5 metre section "missing" from the ridge; one has to climb down a metre or so, step across and climb back up. The step across has a very exposed drop on both sides (and made my palms sweat watching the video)
4) I think it may join a less exposed route to whichever summit is reached. i.e. it is not the only route to the summit
5) I think that a rock may have been dislodged from the step across making it harder (I am not 100% sure about this)

Any help? Thanks in advance.

Sounds a lot like Tower Ridge on the Ben to me.

The same day we did it a few summers ago a block became dislodged at the gap and trapped a lady's leg and she was winched off
