After a rest day we both found ourselves still straigned from our first two days’ adventures. For an easy final day I took the lift up to Aonach Mòr and had a wander over to Aonach Beag

Three sets of footprints rise out from the snow. They’re compressed bits of snow, and the surrounding snow has eroded away.

The CMD arete looking very different in sunlight than just two days before.

Looking far south over the horizon from Aonach Mòr. There’s a low cloud inversion, so just the tops of various mountains can be seen.

A panorama taken from Aonach Mòr looking towards Ben Nevis. The sky is sunny and deep blue, and there’s a cloud inversion, so the ground isn’t visible.

Looking across a wide lake on a grey day. In the distance is a small industrial boat. The water has regular horizontal dark bands - like a barcode - caused by ripples from a passing boat.
