I couldn't see much of that due to the clag but looking at the 1:25k map on Streetmap it just looks like a confusing jumble of contour lines! Mind you, most of the Cuillin ridge is just a confusing jumble of contour lines but thank Harvey's for their excellent 1:12,500 map! I personally wouldn't want to navigate the area by OS map. ;)

Sgurr a Mhadaidh is actually rather scary!

A confusing jumble of contour lines more like a tottering pile of choss!  :o Narrower than Greadhaidh with vertical pitches of both up and down.  You'll love it especially the full frontal lobotomy section (just ask your guide)!  O0

Ups using the OH's log in by mistake, he'll be cross and my back will have plenty of time to recover!

Mike, I read on here a day or two ago and was just so speechless at it all!
 
Just... total respect to be able to do all that!  And solo!
 
And, I'm glad you did it all AND got back okay.
 
When, I'm no longer here, and if I get chance to come back here again, next time, 
I wanna to be able to do stuff like this!
 
Thanks for sharing such a wow adventure.   O0
