Permanent whiteout with 70 mph wind..all fun ;-))

[Dolwolfian]

For my second Munro I knew I will have bad weather but I got even more that I bargained for

Wind was so strong I almost retreat few time but after risk assessment I decided to carry on and I'm glad I did as will remember for the rest of my life this crazy climb

Didn't saw much scenery unless both summit, my boots and GPS screen as permanent whiteout

For the record even if I'm a rookie at mountain walking and was outside of my "comfort" zone I have a quite substantial military background, right equipment and didn't took any uncalculated risk but as all know when you step in the mountain isn't without risk!

Some pictures (not much sorry):
