A great peak but one characterised mainly by its considerable remoteness! This really did feel a long way from civilisation… which always introduces another mental element to any solo hike.

Second Munro of the day, Bidein a'Choire Sheasgaich after bagging Lurg Mhor, two of the most remote summits in the country, an epic walk-in from Attadale. Snow showers cleared and the sun lit up the vast view to the Torridon hills and beyond in time for reaching the tiny summit ridge.
