Looking up to Carn Ghluasaid (957m) on the ascent of it's South facing slopes, it's not until you summit, then the mountain reveals it's true character.
Loooking SW across Loch Cluanie towards The South Glen Shiel Ridge.
Rock ptarmigan starting to moult from Winter to Summer plumage.
Looking into the snow clad North facing corries whilst en-route to Sgurr nan Conbhairean.
Impressive views to the South, from left, Aonach Mor, The CMD Arete and Ben Nevis.
Massive glide cracks that had been covered by last nights snow fall, surprisingly, somebody in front of me had decided to walk across these huge unstable cornices.
Looking North towards Sgurr nan Conbhairean (1110m).
The breathtaking views out to the West, just stunning.
A' Chralaig and the distant Brothers and Sisters ridges behind.
Looking North to Sail Chaorainn (1002m) and the distant, Glen Affric hills.
Whilst I was looking North, I witnessed a big release on an East facing aspect.
As I made my way to the last munro, Sail Chaorainn, the wind really started to pick up as cloud approached from the South West.
Looking South towards Sgurr nan Conbhairean from Sail Chaorainn, the feeling of remoteness was huge.
Looking North West towards Mullach Fraoch-choire.
As forecast, the next weather front approaching from the SW.
Looking back to Sail Chaorainn and Sgurr nan Conbhairean on there less inspiring Western slopes.
Huge glide cracks.
As the weather front approached the light was amazing.
Looking back up to Sgurr nan Conbhairean on the descent just as the cloud moved in.
I wasn't alone!
