As you may well have already read on the report by "stretch" I had organized two of my work mates & climbers & brothers Stewart & Graham to guide stretch,alan s & me over this ridge,as it turned out we also had company with gable gable end from the site and Knapps & Richard two friends of Stewart & Graham also along for the "fun",this turned out to be one day that will live long in all our memories.
I wont go into too much detail with this report as stretch has already written a fine account of our adventures,I will just let some pictures taken to tell there own story.

This is the biggest adrenalin rush I have ever had, or suspect I will ever have no matter how long I live,the whole day from start to finish was a wonderful experience,it had everything great weather,great company,great views,brilliant craic,a lot of very scarey moments along the way,tons of encouragement from Stewart & Graham,plenty of moments where the scrambles were a joy,all that now needs to happen is for me to thank Stewart,Graham,Andy,Stuart(gge),Alan,Richard and Knapps,thank you all for a brilliant day.
