Sgurr Ban: when peaks aren't the most enjoyable part

[Huff_n_Puff]

We had originally intended to fo Sgurr Ban and Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair, but the reality of a long boulder walk after a very long walk in plus enjoying the slabs meant that Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair was put on ice for another jaunt. Weather good in the morning but grew cloudy and wet by the end of the day.
