Where? Please, I don't recognise it.

It is the headwall of the lost valley, Coire Gabhail. The 3 figures are heading up to the bealach between Stob Coire Sgreamhach (up on the left) and Bidean nam Bian. I took it from Stob Coire nan Lochan, above the bealach between SCL and Bidean. It was taken at the 300mm end of the lens, so everything gets compressed and the perspective can look odd, or good..

p.s. I posted another image http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=273457 - you can see the same three figures and will get a better idea of where they are. cheers, Mac.

Many thanks, now I can put the photo into perspective.

I like this a lot Mac as it shows just how steep the headwall really is. Before you know it your nose is almost touching the snow and the cornice is hanging menacingly above. A great image for people intending on doing this route in winter conditions.
