As always a good day out on the Fiaciall ridge and we must have got braver because we did use the rope! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘. We walked into Coire an t Sneachda hoping to make a start on twin ribs, and although we spied some likely candidates we were unsure if they were the right ribs. In the end we just made our way up the boulders the near the back of the coire. They felt wonderfully secure after some of the boulders we have met in the north west :lol: . We did pass this buttress which we hope to come back and scramble on at a later date.

We enjoyed a leisurely walk back around coire rim admiring crags . Unusualy for July No midge clegs ticks or other wild life but the heather was in bloom beautiful and smelling of honey
