Hi CW. Another great report with fantastic pics. Razor edge looked really scarey. Maybe a video report one day. Keep the reports coming. :clap: :clap:

Cheers WW, no chance of video from me just yet as I don't own a video camera (but thinking of getting one for MTB outings) The ridge was incredible and looks less steep on the pics...exciting stuff :wink:

Cheers Stretch, I must admit this is a bit special, I'm going to try making an ascent at the North section too I think, stunning place to hike. We'll keep it at the top of the list for the 'Far North' Meet up :wink:

Are you sure you didnt get this out of a book :lol: :lol: 8) :wink:

:lol: Thanks J&A...I think :lol: the weather over there is certainly strange this year (reminiscent of the miserable summer of 2007....though there was a great late summer that year) :D

Cheers Milesy, this is my favourite hike so far over here, absolutely stunning scenery in a full 360 all the way along the ridge, it is a beautiful hike along the edge and quite good fun getting up there too :D

Another good report Chris.
One of the reasons I moved to Scotland was to be nearer some proper mountains, looks like you have that in spades!!
Keep sending these reports, always read with just a hint of envy :mrgreen: :)

Cheers Steve, I found a whole new bunch of mountains today too, as the snow recedes more and more open up, though this one is still my favourite so far :D
