In reply to DaveHK:
Nice one, thanks man. As a man who knows, is it better to go in from the West or East? I wouldn't mind a look up at the eastern corries too just for fun, but I don't think we'll be able to fit in the main traverse back to the east after NP etc, hence thinking about.a start from the west.
I know we can drop off Mullach an Raithan and yomp back along the road to the NT carpark, I came down that way when I did the ridge a couple of years ago, but it's not that pleasant a way to end to the day!
