I did this in the wind and rain about 10 years ago. Was meant to be winter climbing but weather was so awful it stripped everything so went scrambling instead!
Due to the wet and windy conditions, this start was more fun and less scary than the ridge itself 😱
A great day out. The actual pinnacles re a little bit contrived ie they can be by-passed just about anywhere. but the main bypass path actually looks quite scary!
We did this loop last summer, but moving anti-clockwise and continued on due east to extend the running by an extra couple of km, finishing at the car park for Ben Aliginn. Could really do with a path for the final boggy section to the road!!!
Makes me think, is it really contrived if it seems just about as easy (at least not as worrying..) to go over the pinnacles than around them?
Also always thought An Teallach was definitely contrived as the natural line seems to miss most of the rock.
