A fantastic report of a beautiful location, with some truly stunning photos throughout. I was surprised to read you met someone descending as you ascended (albeit close to the summit) ..... they must have been there early :shock: another real cracker :D

This all looks very familiar, Rockhopper. I walked this route on Monday - following in your footsteps (more or less)! :lol: You've captured it all really well - great pictures and a tale well told. :D It looks a lot frostier in your pictures on Stob Coire nan Lochan than in mine - you must have been up there quite early. By the way, to leave the lost valley, the path ascends on the right just before the big boulders - but I still agree that it would be hard to get cattle up there (maybe they could scramble in those days! :lol: ). 8)

I remembered reading your report gammy and had a look but didn't see it - knowing me, I was probably looking straight at it and still missed it :?

:lol: Think they'd come up the lost valley and Stob Coire Sgreamhach was their first of the day - I met quite a few more also ascending the red scree track.

Excellent report, and lovely photos :clap: ! I'm jealous of the weather and the views you got, though :mrgreen: - I did these two yesterday in the Clag. I'll no doubt put a wee Walk Report in, but my photos are largely of various bits of rock looming vaguely through the mist ... :( . Still and all, they are a great pair of hills :D .
