A fine walk, started of in pleasant conditions. As we reached the first 'false' cairn the rain started, by time we reached the true peak it was lashing down and never stopped for rest of the day. Nice wet feeling all the way down but still enjoyed the walk.
A bit of a scramble over the rocks to reach the true summit, made more difficult by the rain as rocks become slippery.
Never stopped st top as too rainy which helped the total time to be fairly quick - 3hrs 45 mins.
didn't meet anyone till we topped out hten passed loads of climbers on way back - they were climbing as we descended.
