the steepest part of the ascent

.. emerged on a spectacular viewpoint above Alva

looking west along the steep southern slopes

heading north for Bengengie Hill with Blairdenon Hill behind

celebrating my completion of the Donalds on Blairdenon Hill

heading east towards Ben Cleuch the highest point of the Ochils

looking back west towards Blairdenon Hill

Dave Hewitt approaches the summit of Ben Cleuch for the 350th time

on Ben Cleuch summit

leaving Ben Cleuch and heading for Ben Ever

.. where Fern tries to demolish the cairn with Dave looking on

on the ridge south of Ben Ever

descending to Alva
