We didn't set off until 11:30 due to driving down from Ratagan. By that time it was sultry and the slog up beside the Waterslide was immense. Both of us felt it, so it was a relief to get to the CMD arete which Ben skipped over. On the top of CMD, a couple of Scots remarked that they'd got further than us to go (as they were about to cross the arete to the Ben) to which both of us retorted, 'well, actually no'. A long afternoon of steep up and down over the Aonachs and then finally up Binnean Beag followed, finally camping at 8:20pm on the way to Sgurr Eilde Mor.
