Sounds like you enjoyed it, altpope. Like you, I did this route on my own a couple of weeks ago and, unlike my first attempt at the beginning of May, had a glorious day weather-wise. After completing the South Ridge and the Five Sisters previously, I was stupid enough to think these 2 munros would be a short day. Far from it. The lengthy Scramble and big loss of height between the two munros makes for a long day. Don't know about you, but I'm still confused as to which is the true summit of the Saddle. Is it the trig point or not? Met a few people on top who seemed to think it wasn't. I visited everything up there just in case.
