11.30 - 6.30, Mark, Jamie, JC, Jerry - LADS WEEK

Cloudless, sun drenched - theme running through the week
Good path up burn then branch left for NW ridge, easy descent where narrows.
Stay close to ridge on right NOT too low, Mark ok and at top before knows it - Cuillin ridge all around - Superb
Mark descends by same route, rest of Bandana boys head down reasonably easy traverse path to other side of Am
Basteir and climb back up. 6 other folk with ropes/helmets also going up summit, but bandanas win thro against
bawbag guide, Jamie lowest slab route.
Exhilarating experience, Adrenalin coursing thro JC and I. Guide very disdainful of bandana boys !!
Ravens not feeding today - we made it but where was Jim, Am Beast here?
Descent down scree and decent path on LHS basteir gorge back to sligachan.
