Day 2 (Sunday) saw the full entourage head onto the ridge via Coire a Ghrunnda. Despite several attempts by some members of the group to evade 'bagging munros', we all reached the summit cairn of Sgurr nan Eag, although it was shrouded in mist.
We then scrambled along the ridge, skirted An Caisteal but rejoined the grade 2 scramble up Sgurr na da Bheinn. The group decided to leave Sgurr Dubh Mor 'proper' for another day due to a combination of weather conditions, timing, energy levels and simply not really knowing what our descent route of choice would have in store for us.
A successful ascent of Sgurr Alasdair was made via a roped grade 3 chimney and our efforts were rewarded by views from the summit. Fun was had descending the Great Stone Chute and we enjoyed a bit of reflection and stretching on the slabs by the lochan before heading back to camp.
Refuelled after an early lunch.

Heavenly...
