Headed up the Corbett first as that was our main aim - made the halfway mark for me :thumbup: We came off the path to take a line up and over the South Cliffs, pretty much a direct line to the summit. Not much snow around now :o and we were fairly sheltered from the wind, so far!
Carried on to Sgorr Ruadh, making a reverse loop of our last trip up these Munros. The wind was picking up and Scoob was making hints about bailing after the first Munro... but we pushed on, despite having to crouch or stop to let strong gusts pass fairly often, and made it to BLM summit still in daylight :clap: :D We'd come along the full ridge in the snow in good weather a couple of years back, so this time just headed straight down from BLM summit to join the track back out - good scree slope made for a faster descent (I'm getting the hang of these now, better with poles!) and we were on the path before needing the torches out again 8) :D
Scoob's video :clap:
