Day 2 and a very welcome change in conditions :crazy: . Luckily I bought two pairs of boots as my boots from Day 1 (and everything else I wore) were soaked.

We started at the Glen Brittle campsite. The path is excellent pretty much all the way up to Coire a' Ghrunnda (although still waterlogged from the previous day).

The views were outstanding all day. Especially looking back towards the see and the Isle of Rum and Eigg. The Coire was also spectacular like a big amphitheater.

The scrambling was great and not too challenging. The highlight for me was the airy summit of Sgurr Alasdair which give a great feeling of exposure with big drops into the great stone chute.

Descending the chute was quite short but challenging to stay upright.
