Slept for 12 hours after yesterdays excitement. Forecast better later and took my time leaving as I hoped to do part of the "real" Aonach Eagach ridge today. Followed the WHW to the top of the Devils Staircase then left along the ridge, the plan was 4th top then back along the ridge to a drop off towards Kinlochleven. Easy run along the WHW past the new Kingshouse Hotel construction and Buchaille Etive Mor looking good across the road.
Up the Devils Staircase and along the broad grassy ridge to the first couple of tops, good views all round.
Looking down into Coire Gabhail, the lost valley.
The next tops capped with dark clouds and after yesterdays detour decided to drop off via Sron a Choire Odhair bhig and rejoin the WHW for the last mile or so. Short day today, finished in about 3 1/2 hours. More pictures
