Some of you will know, in fact you're probably downright bored by it, that I'm contemplating the Lairig Ghru.
Interestingly I came across it on Walkopedia and noticed that they had graded it as strenuous. Now, two years ago I did part of the Tour du Mont Blanc(hoping to do it again next year) and their grading for that was also strenuous.
Now I don't recall that when I did the TMB that I ever thought "I can't hack this". Even the highest passes that I did(Col de Croix du Bonhomme, Grand Col Ferret) did not really seem to faze me. The day I crossed the Col de Croix du Bonhomme was not even nice weather wise, wind, rain and a bit cold but I hacked it. It may have been due to the fact that I was travelling solo and thus doing it at MY pace(slowly, slowly) I'm hoping if I do the LG I shall get the same Karma.Comments welcome
