Looking back to what's achieved
Warped pano
Relentless scree
Glen Nevis still lush
Fence. Thereafter pursued by bigger flies, then midge to car
Good time, overestimated. Traverse of the 6 very possible that day
Summary:Left already packed car park about 0630 in midge headnet. Had to keep moving. Breeze once gained height kept them at bay, but loitering at summits brought them on again. That along with loud Americans (one of two groups seen on ridge, the other a man and dog) having a loud conversation on a silent ridge spurred me on to make good time. Narrow sections not a problem but it was dry and not windy. Bypass of Devil's Ridge safe. No water but snow patches still present, though not required. Long walk back to even more rammed car park for 1400. Strong sun out by now, mid-high 20s. Back at car, air con on and windows up until boots off and driving down glen, away from crowds of people and midges.
