Nah, not me mate! I did quite well all things considered, but my method is a steady plod. I did carry all the heavy old kit to the top of Cadair Idris, huffing and puffing on the last long stretch, and a couple of guys up there could barely lift my pack off the ground - all technique tho! Had a ciggy as soon as I sat down at the top :lol
Scotland! Ah, a real challenge that always seemed to me. Everything is so much more remote, I really don't know how you can do it without camping. Not sure I'd want to do those walks without an ice axe, maybe even crampons in some of the conditions your pics show? That would definitely be a step up from what I've done. Conditions can get pretty severe up there, you hear of some pretty grim tragedies when the weather turns suddenly. Doesn't that kind of thing worry you? Or just a case of watching the mountain forecast carefully before you go?
