straightforward scrambling, variable at will until the ridge narrows to a rock tower barring passage to the summit. Passing this briefly reaches grade 3 and is quite exposed. It also has to be reversed on descent.

Wasn't quite dark enough yet so we thought a quick spin along the ridge would be a nice end to the day, quite technical scrambling if you stick to the ridge, amazing views...

Blue ski, no clouds, fantastic views.
andyinglis - Solo - 26/Sep/10 with Monica

No rain, cloudy, but managed to get good views from the summit in the end. Excellent scrambling to be had all over the place - tricky section just before western summit difficult to reverse on descent but not as bad as it looks.

backed of the final tricky section before the summit, did not fancy having to reverse it. To my shame, elite mountaineer Jeremy did get there. Still, the stunning views north to Suilven went some way to make up for me bottling it...
