Great report and fabulous pics. We did the ridge the standard way a couple of years ago, but my camera batteries packed in after 3 photos so we have an excuse to go back, and try your route :lol: :lol: :lol: (Think I'll need a stamina transplant first though :lol: :lol: ) But seriously, well done you this is excellent :clap:

Thanks Huff_n_Puff. I hope you get yourself back to this ridge and get those views and photos. If you do my route be prepared not to see anyone on the walk in or walk out :lol:

A really interesting route, and some magnificent pics. The only downside being that it doesn't finish as a building of cultural, historical and architectural interest (by comparison with a Cluanie start/finish). :D

And blessed you were with what appears to have been a perfect day! It really is a fine ridge walk: it brought back some great memories from earlier this year.

A technical question: how do you manage to import your pics in that medium size format?

An epic long walk, think my left knee would ensure I had to take a year off afterwards. bike back would definitely be an option for me :lol:
