Great report and photos - I effectively missed out on Ben Tarsuinn as I did it in a massive downpour - saw nothng - and had to retreat beyond it. Don't miss out on Beinn a Chlaidheimh though - I thought it much the best at least of the Eastern three - though I was there at sunrise :) Sorry - not trying to upstage you :lol:

Wonderful report with which I can more recently acquiesce.
Myself and a fellow pensioner did the Fabulous Fisherfield Five last weekend (13/14th July 2018) starting and finishing at Dundonnell. We wild camped on the bealach between Tarsuinn and A'Mag.
The 24 hour trip took in 2,500m ascent, 40km walking, 3 hours "sleep" in a howling gale but the views from A'Mag at 5am were, as you so eloquently describe, unforgettable.
I intend to compile and post my own report when I get out of intensive care.............
