Looking north west from the summit to Beinn Dearg and An Teallach. This was one of the wildest days I have ever experianced in the hills, I was continually having to go down on to all fours to prevent being blown over. The wind was also scouring ice from the surface and these were flying through the air like missiles, very painful when they hit, I was getting a bit concerned about getting hit in the head, not the place to get your head split open.

The weather staion at Loch Glascarnoch, I later learnt that while I had been on the top it had been gusting 55knots here, not sure what that equates to for the summit, but it sure was wild.
