The weather cleared in the afternoon, so this photo of Marsco was actually taken on my descent. What a fine looking hill!
I met few people after I turned off the main path, and the route was less boggy than I expected. The steep grass up to the ridge had footsteps worn into it and had no problems apart from the wind. The view N on attaining the ridge was stunning.
As recommended I took the path to the left for as close a view of Blaven as possible, although the picture below was taken during the steady ascent towards the top.
The final narrow part of the ridge was enjoyable even in a steady wind. It did, of course, seem to have steeper slopes either side than those revealed in the picture.
The summit is a real treat as a viewpoint, with Sgurr nan Gillean prominent.
A very fine walk to do on a day with good visibility.
