Points of Interest/Notes on this walk:
Aonach Eagach is a very exposed ridge walk. It is not technically difficult but the section between Meal Dearg and Stob Coire Leith ('The Crazy Pinnacles') is particularly airy and exposed and is not for the remotely faint-hearted. The last two 'pinnacles' in this section will make even the most experienced scramblers pause for thought while they search for a route round them. Once on the ridge there are no viable escape routes.
