Trip Report
This was Ruairidh's third and fourth Munro and his first summit camp.
I was grateful that at his age he could still sleep through anything as there were some heavy gusts - I needed my ear plugs.

This is the first time on the top of a hill with this tent and it held up well. I used both my trekking poles which from this experience I always would. My learning is to bring more guy lines as there are lots of tie out points and the gusts as they were that night could have done with a few more.
