Approaching Bealach an Lagain Duibh


Traversing around the south west flanks of Garbh Chioch Mhor


A view to Loch Nevis


Heading up into Feadan na Ciche


Hoping there is going to be an inversion at some point...


Still in the cloud


Finally breaking out



It's an inversion!


View to Sgurr Mor with Gleouraich and Spidean Mialach further behind





The two Glenfinnan Munros



A first proper look at Garbh Chioch Mhor
