It's easy to go up and over Lamagan without even really seeing that part of it.  Face on would be cool.  Looked like a darlin' of a day alright.

Your 3rd picture looks like the route my walking partner and I came down a few months ago. We met a gut at the top who told us a "more interesting way" to go down  ::) It certainly was more interesting... I thought i might actually die  :'( the experience nearly put me off walking ever again, but hey ho, I was up again the next week and learned a valuable lesson.. stick to your own route at all times  ;D

 We met a gut



Meant to say Guy...  but gut also seems appropriate (i'll not say what we really called him when we eventually made it down  ;) )

i don't think its a drop down, just a tight squeeze with arms stretched in front of you and wiggle in on your belly, was a bit much for me with my claustophobia but i will do it some day, oh yes, i will ...
