My last visit to the top of Carn Mor Dearg coincided with a guy just coming off the Ben & CMD Arete doing the Tranter Round in microspikes and heavy duty trainers.

Thanks for your nice comment. A 9 image stitch. Final photograph is a 1.3 gb file, 96 inches wide. I had it printed to 48 inches converted to B&W.
