Good enough, though I was after Toll Easa, which is basically the big corrie between Tom and Toll so that'll do.. :clap:

Over to you....

OK, clue 1.

The longer ridge to the left is a Munro. Usually climbed as a part of 3-M expedition. We took unusual approach to this hill and bagged it separately, it required a long walk along a lovely loch.

I have almost forgotten about this thread :lol:

Coire Ghàidheil it is, seen from An Sornach. A less used route for An Socach, so not an obvious view...

All yours RH :D

Beinn Sgritheall, Coire Min

That's taken me hours over the last week! And its so distinctive too, as is the ridge, which is what really threw me.
