Yep, the best mountains are in the far NW
I also toyed with Torridon, and Skye, but the pull of Assynt was too strong.
I only realised Loopallu was on when I arrived in Ullapool. It was actually fine as I was up and away early.
Great report and photos. I did this for the first time last winter but I'd love to do it on a day like yours, I would certainly start earlier though
Cheers.
