scothunter 12,609 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 I done it twice in September. Its a hard f***ing slog up there. Second time i did it got caught in the snow. Man i was f***ing freezing! Couple times i thought about heading back down. But just pushed on. Spent literally 5 mins on summit and got back down lol Seen pine martin@the top but i think it was lost! One thing its stunning views my advice do it early morning try avoid the tourists. You might see some stags near bottom. If you want next time im in town ill see if i can pick up a map or some literature and send you it. Rescue helicopter was buzzing around this afternoon someone apparently slipped and broke an ankle. Its covered in snow just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cragman 2,843 Posted November 26, 2017 Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 There’s plenty of books out there. Go on a walking/climbing website and ask or look for info on books. Or pop into Waterstones and have a look for yourself. Love to do what you’re doing, good luck ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
