We went to have fun on Scotland's best wee mountain but decided not to tackle the true summit today. A reason to return with a rope for the wee man in the future.... Although not too difficult (Grade 3 scramble) a misplaced foot placement was too risky for us both to attempt the bad step today (there is a big drop!). See below videos of other times I have attempted this when on my own. The scramble up to the "bad step" was much fun but care is still required.
