Last route before the temperature jumped up that evening and the rain swept in

@Mark: Great route indeed. It seems that people usually either bypass the Bad Step, which wasn't an option in our conditions anyway, or abseil down as we did. - As for the Ben, I was very grateful for the tourist path as an easy descent.
A circuit over The Saddle (in summer), ascending via the Forcan Ridge, is one of only two mountain routes that I have done on the Scottish mainland (the other being up and down Ben Nevis via the Mountain Track - both in July 2003), but we bypassed the 'Bad Step' descent 😮 from Sgùrr na Forcan. We descended from The Saddle via Bealach Coire Mhàlagain. A great route as I remember. 🙂
