With
more standing water on the A82 than I can ever remember it was obvious
that our planned climb was out. Instead our CPD logbook kicked in with a
quick traverse of the Aonach Eagach. This involved security on steep
ground and some micro navigation.
The rain and wind abated but the rock was very slippery. We crabbed,
down climbed and carefully picked our way across the ridge till the last
munro Sgorr nam Fiannaidh where we headed straight off the hill to the
Clachaig Inn junction . This is the best spot to thumb a lift
back to the upper car park. It is only locals, other climbers or hill
walkers that ever stop, as all the tourists must think you want to go
all the way to Engerland with them. Thanks again to Moira for the lift.
