Well done. This is one of the scariest Munro's ive been on. I toure the escape path rather than the ridge itself, so aiming to go for a retry on day.

Cracking shots.

Thanks very much! I was actually most scared on the ascent as I was unsure how the weather was going to pan out and was going solo. The NTS ranger for Torridon told me (primarily figuratively) that when the mountain rescue get a callout for someone falling off the bypass path there, they just put the kettle on because the fatality rate is so high. Well done yourself - I was much more scared even looking at the bypass path than the pinnacles but I suppose it is the better option if the clag is thick enough!
