Description

We avoided a group of walkers and took the stony path from the bothy to the Coire Odhar. Carrying was necessary on this steep rise of 400 feet and consequently Dave thought his heart was about to fail, and my pulse rose to 200. The path out of the corrie climbed more gradually, in a series of hairpin bends, up to a grassy plateau at 3,000 feet. Near here, we had lunch, overlooking the great rocky promontory of Devils Point
