We started the walk at the Clachaigh Inn, heading towards the A82 where there is a path leading directly up to Sgorr nam Fiannaidh. This was quite a rapid ascent of over 900m, and there was a shelter at the top to recover before we progressed along the ridge eastwards.

The walk from here was straightforward until we reached a series of pinnacles which required some scrambling/climbing to pass. Whilst the weather was generally good (a bit windy but not snowing or raining), there was a lot snow on the ground so progress was slow.

We bumped into a couple of climbers coming the other way before we reached the Crazy Pinnacles, and after a short discussion (and giving consideration to the time, it was starting to get dark), we decided to turn back. We got back the shelter just as it got properly dark, and the descent back down to the A82 took ages!

Overall this was a challenging hike/scramble/climb, next time we will perhaps tackle it during the summer months when there is more daylight!
