Dogplodder has already written about this walk (https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=102877) so this is just my additional photos. We decided to leave Sgurr Choinnich Mor when we did the main part of the Grey Corries ridge (https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=102904) to walk in from Glen Nevis using this route, joining up with Kathleen and Ian for a wonderful autumn treat.
