found this climb fairly easy but took me longer because i took my partner who normally does'nt walk any further than the car,she only done it to prove to me she could and in all fairness she did. also went with three other people two of which were roughly on the same fitness level as my partner.weather was not bad on the way up but near the top there was snow and ice.when we got to the top it started to snow and the visibility was quite poor although we did get a 5 min window where the clouds cleared and we managed to get some photo's taken. we made the descent down the ptarmigan ridge which was a wee bit steeper and longer but was more interesting than returning the way we came. was an enjoyable day and a good starter munro and hopefully will get to plenty more. :)

Well that will be you hooked now. And maybe your missus. You will both soon get hill fit if you try to get out on a regular basis. Good luck. :D

once i learn how to put pics onto the computer i will, but im slightly mentally challenged when it comes to technology give me a pair of boots and a walk and i'm in my glory. i,m defo hooked but the chances of my missus gettin hooked is slim to none and i'm leaning towards the latter. anyone willing to give me tips and advice i'm willing to listen thats on walks,climbs and computers it will be greatfully recieved. thanks! :)
