Target ahead.
A good path almost the whole way to the top.
A few long zigzags at the start. Already finding the heat and stillness a challenge but I plod on!
View of summit.
The path straightens out for quite a long way up to just before the summit.
Up at the beallach there's a good view of the Saddle.
View south from beallach.
The summit of Biod an Fhithich looks slightly challenging for my knees.
Zoom shot of Forcan Ridge. I descended this in 1992 on a warm and windy summer's day, having made a route finding error at the start. Now I'm wondering which ridge I mistook for it on the ascent. I guess it was the north ridge since I was camping near Ratagan hostel.
View north from final ascent slopes.
The walk I did last September where I hurt my knees from nothing more than descent of 300m of a moderately steep slope at the end of the walk.
The WH route description suggests the path is intermittent but I found it fairly distinct most of the way, maybe to do with the dry spell.
Not too taken with the summit view but that might be to do with the mid-day ascent and flat light which I don't really appreciate.
View across Glen Shiel.
Time to descend.
Unnamed waterfall west of Meallan Odhar.
Saddle summit.
Basically no cloud until I decide to descend.
Photo of interesting stone that someone is bound to thank me for including in this report.
It is a warm descent and the deer can't be bothered with running away.
