Traverse of the Five Sisters Ridge, from the Glenshiel battlefield car park at NH 00907 13524. Steep climb of 550m to Bealach an Lapain, then rough ridge walking over Beinn Odhar, Sgurr nan Spainteach, Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe, Sgurr na Carnach and Sgurr Fuaran. Then followed the main path around and down to Ault a'Chruinn by the stalkers' path. Misty at first, clearing to bright sunshine later. Windless. Attacked by midges, flying ants and keds! Solo.
