Yes and no - they all seemed to have a different character and underfoot conditions, but they were all really steep! I thought Marsco was the easiest going - quite short grass and the rocks higher up are actually attached to something.
I think the side of Beinn na Caillich you went up and down was probably the toughest I've done in the Red Cuillin. Apparently the descent off the other Graham in the pair (Beinn Dearg Mor?) is equally nasty if you are doing a circuit from Corrie. I avoided it by going up from Torrin.
