The forecast 'light showers' merged into an hour and half of near torrential rain on the walk in, considered turning back at 600m but could see the sky just starting to clear so continued to the summit where the wind was too strong to take any photos. Lumps of ice were being blown up and smacking me in the face as I tried to take a shot down from the summit cairn :shock: . Found a wee nook between some rocks for a bite of lunch and then the sun came out but still blowy on the descent.

Not really a memorable hill - I shan't rush back :roll:
