Went with Dave, George, Dove and Daniel. A cloudy day but clear at the top at warm with little wind. Scrambling course weekend, great to practice ropework and scrambling technique and good fun on the scrambles practicing with the rope. Great views all day, beautiful autumn colours. Saw/ heard red deer, buzzards and ravens. Saw a rockfall when we were stopped to practice. Great day out and learnt a lot.
