Route hard to distinguish in places and very VERY wet and slippery, but it all adds to the adventure/ bruises on arse! Saw either a Ptarmigan or Grouse on summit. I think it was shocked that anyone was stupid enough to swap safety and shelter for the hills, and promptly launched itself into a particularly severe gust finding itself tossed and turned into the ever present mist. Managed to get a quick snap before it did it's suicidal leap of faith. Will try to upload it and anyone so inclined can let me know what it is!
