Would it be possible to wild camp on top of Sgurr na Stri - there appear to be grass patches on there and i think a sunset/sunrise could be quite something from that perch?

Not sure if there would be room for a tent but bivvying would certainly be ok

unless of course you had ambitions to get even closer to the summit

Good bump - was nice re-reading both reports :)
