Kings House to Kinlochleven

This was the day of The Devils Staircase. Aptly named for it's steep incline of 1797 feet and has 22 switchbacks in it!! It took approximately 1 hour to climb and I don't know how the King's men pushed those two wheeled carts over it. Hung out on the top and took more pictures of the surrounding sites and pushed on. We are now looking over the famous Rannoch Moor which is the isles biggest area of non habitation Fifty square miles. Ate lunch overlooking the Blackwter reservoir and side-hilled it to above Kinlochleven. The descent to Kinlochleven took well over an hour and took it's toll on our quads,knees and toes. Arriving into Kinlochleven via the huge pipes carrying water from the Blackwater reservoir we passed the Alcan Aluminum's powerhouse and the Ice Factors world largest ice climbing walls. Tigh na cheo was our bed and breakfast for the next two days as it was our plan to climb some ice the next day. Since the weather is beginning to deteriorate we now will finish the Way tomorrow and climb some ice on the day after. Tomorrow we finish the way with a fourteen and one-half mile burst to Fort William.
