    This was a full winter traverse of the Aonach Eagach ridge in stunning blue sky full snow conditions. Absolutely brilliant, the best ridge traverse I have done in the UK. A winter traverse of the ridge takes this route into a winter grade 3 category. Please only attempt it if you have the relative experience and equipment.

      Sgorr nam Fiannaidh is the western of the two Munro summits on the infamous Aonach Eagach, above Glencoe. As the ridge is usually tackled from east to west, arriving at Sgorr nam Fiannaidh is often accompanied by a victorious feeling.

      Don't be tempted to descend south into the Clachaig Gully, this is an accident blackspot that is well known to mountain rescue. Much better to continue west and drink in the views beyond the Ballachulish Bridge, over Loch Linnhe to the mountains of Ardgour and Sunart.
