After failing to reach to summit in the heavy cloud a few years ago, I was determined to make it this time, but was it worth it? The way markers from Florence Court at 200-250m, visibility at 30-50m. Very intermittant path through the boggy areas, and a very steep and slippery final approach with no view at the summit. The answer ... still yes.
