Yep, that’s me. I casually walked to the edge so a friend could take a photo and didn’t realise there was quite such a drop off until I scrambled down to join him! :shock:

Haha! I thought your avatar looked familiar :D It doesn't look nearly so scary from the other side does it? Nonetheless you're a braver man than me, It was all I could muster to edge out there on my bum :D

Hilarious!! You made me laugh a lot. Thanks. The question is if I ever will have courage to do the pinnacles. And amazing pictures as well.

A lovely report Bob, had me laughing. Stunning pics too. Not sure the line up the ridge on Sail Liath is any better, seen someone coming up it with steam coming off :lol: But as you say patience is rewarded, if you have the staying power.

A fantastic read :clap: :clap:
