Sgorr Dhonuill
essentially a check route with Holly and Matt to see how they present themselves on the hill
they have lots of experience and know how to pack their bags with spare kit, eat on the move, move on rough ground, and perhaps most of all.. they enjoy being on hills..
i was able to advise on how to use poles safely and firmly... and to repair one of thei poles that wasnt locking.
no dramas on the up.. or ridge walk over to Sgorr Dhonuill...
ascent of Sgorr Dhonuill was very breezy,, the 'scramble' up to the top was only a boulder walk really.
descent into the valley for the return involved a bit of path finding until the fire-road was hit.... then just a case of walking east.
