Your photo reminded me of our wedding anniversary in September 2003 (our 32nd) when we decided to celebrate the occasion by scaling the very same Aonach Eagach Ridge. We did it the other way round by starting at the Clachaig Inn and climbing Sgorr nam Fiannaidh, Meall Dearg and then Am Bodach. Bill very gallantly ran back down the road to the Clachaig Inn and fetched our car as my legs were a wee bitty wobbly by then. Never was a glass of the strong cider more welcome! I managed at one point to slip off the path and go sliding down a steep slope, managing eventually to grab some heather and come to a welcome stop. It is quite a scary climb and one which I don't feel I have to do again! We kept coming across parties of climbers all roped together with a guide and all going the other way!
