Superb reports and photos pigeon :D

You certainly saw more on Beinn Liath Mhor than I did :lol: I didn't even see the ridge I was walking on when I did it :shock: Definitely one I want to return too - in winter perhaps, but then again I want to bag the Corbett too :D So maybe early spring with some snow still hanging on would nice

Can't wait until it's my turn on Liathach :D Some great photos you have there. Not sure how long Rocket Ron's piece of rope is, so may try to persuade my occasional walking partner to join me instead, when I get round to it.
