Iolair-Bhara
Beinn Challum
Not the most compelling peak in the Southern Highlands (although it takes on a more pleasing pyramidical aspect as seen from Glen Lochay), this scene nevertheless offered some nice implied symmetry along the warming light of a winter afternoon.
I'd earlier scaled the lower hill on the left, Cam Chreag, in what felt like some truly bizarre conditions.
Two days prior to mid-winter I found myself almost boiling alive as I sweated my way up. Absolute stillness coupled with some actual heat felt from the December sun found me cursing being ludicrously overdressed for the circumstances. It genuinely felt spring-like, a sensation I don't think I've ever felt this potently at this time of year in the hills.
