That's very nice. I did these two a few days before you (last Saturday) and they were good fun, especially with the strong gusts of winds that were blowing across the col between the two. And both me and my colleague also ended up on our rumps when coming down through some of the boggy stuff on Meall a'Bhuiridh. Fun fun fun.

Wasn't 100% sure that was Curved Ridge, so cheers for confirming that. Hoping to attempt it next summer :D

Wow, I was there 4 years later to the day! Another perfect day, only with a lot more snow :-) It's nice to see what it looks like without the snow. See my walk report from yesterday if you like :)
