**On Ancient Rocks & Ridges, Beinn Eighe, Torridon**
We headed up Liathach a week or so ago with a pal to explore the less-frequented top of Stuc a' Choire Dhuibh Bhig.
We set off in warm, humid and midgey conditions at the bottom, looking up hopefully to where the summits should have been, but alas they were covered in cold-looking mist.
We met some folks on the way up – all of us holding out hope the mist would clear so we could be rewarded with views down into the glen and of the adjacent peaks.
We reached our summit in the mist but thankfully held on to our hope, enjoying a sandwich and the silence as the mist moved around us.
Sure enough, we got lucky, and this fine view over to Beinn Eighe in partial sunlight was a prize well worth waiting for. What a cracking summit!
