Great walk and photos :clap: - wish I could do that much in a day. When I did the western 4 - I could clealry see the Aonach Eagach on the horizon - 50km away .Can't remember which one it was from, but I guess you would be looking S of Ben Alder and N of Leum Uilleum

Looks like you had a fantastic day out! Its a shame the weather closed in on most of the summits and stole the views. I'll need to try that route myself soon :)
