Your right I think the bit I read about was on the Beinn Fhada route, looking at descriptions. There are some descriptions of the route you mention that sound better. I did the wh route in reverse, looking for alternatives as I went up. It might stand out more from the top, heading down.
Like you I wouldn't be comfortable leading folk on a tricky bit. Happy to watch an experienced guinea pig do it first though
By my self I'm pretty confident, but tend to stay more within my comfort zone. I have a fear of being 'that person' in the news paper, having done something stupid
