Hard going, but worth it in the end.
Thanks to Kristan for his pics which I have added in.

How much further! |
Then lunch! The Gallagher's too brutalised to give us a song. |
The top of Ben Starav. Anyone having fun yet? |
Enjoy the lovely view! |
Look, Loch Etive on the left, and the Alt nam Meirleach valley on the right- honest. |

|
| And then it cleared up.

The team |
Looking North up Glen Etive, and East to Stob Coir an Albannaich. Makes it all worthwhile. |

The day improves further. View up Glen Etive to Buachaille Etive Mor

But Ben Starav remained hidden.... |
until we got back down. |
