Glencoe gave it's usual fine display of a variety of brooding light shows today. In a cool but classic West Coast spring day we experienced everything from snow, sleet and hail to a sun tan!

The narrow and airy rhyolite ridge feels like a more meticulous proposition when it's a wet slither rather than a dry romp but the rock is well worn and thus as clean as the way to go is clear.

Michael and I completed the traverse with the longer but more sedate descent via the Pap of Glencoe Path and were back for a pint at the Clachaig after 7 steady hours on the go.
