Is anyone aware of this having been repeated or even attempted?

I did a bit of asking around and thus far nobody I've asked is aware of a repeat. This is hardly surprising but I thought I'd put it out to a wider audience.

For those who don't know it is Martin Moran's epic traverse of Coire na Feòla, Coire na Poite and Coire an Fhamair of Bheinn Bhàn.

Ta.

I found his FA account in an old Climber magazine which makes for interesting reading. It really was a super impressive ascent*, a real combination of ability, fitness, commitment and detailed local knowledge.

*Can I use the word ascent for something that mostly goes sideways for over 2km?!

Would like to have a read of that. Any idea when we can expect the new guidebook for the NW? Hope your having luck filling in the blanks.

Yes, a pretty wild journey, requiring a comprehensive knowledge of each coire.

I'll scan it and send you copy. I'm making good progress with the guide but it's still a while away. Politicians answer!

Going to be a bit cheeky and ask if you could send me a copy of the article too? Even traversing one of the Corrie's would be quite the feat
