In reply to Iain Thow:
Wasn't too bad, being winter my clothing provided a lot of padding, and I managed a fair bit of sliding on snow, or along water ice on the path. I was caught slight off balance by wind while on some frosted scree just below the col on Beinn Dearg aggravating/twisting an historic angle injury, so crawled back down Gleann na Sguaib. Once in the forest I cut a couple of improvised crutches, which made progress a lot better. Still made less than 1km an hour on average. I remember the day or two after being stiff as hell, along with black and blue knees, elbows and wrists, more than the crawl itself. Swear I employed muscles that I hadn't used since I'd been a toddler....bloody good 'core' workout.
Could be the next fitness craze!
In my view the Mullardoch shore would have been far harder, at lest I was overall going down hill.
