QUINAG ; A NORTHWEST ICON
According to John Muir Trust (who own it)..... and we saw no reason to disagree. A shapely collection of pointy bits, and a lovely narrow ridge in the middle.
The first summit is Spidean Coinich (764m); easy-angled slabs of rock followed by steep uphill walking. On a cloudy day, the mist wreathed gently on and off the summit. The following ridge narrows briefly to a knife-point and has an overall feel and length similar to Striding Edge, (tho' less rocky) ending with a plunging descent to a 555-metre bealach.
On the other side, the ground is steep with a couple of slightly technical bits.
Sadly as we reached the next point at 745 metres, the cloud thickened and dropped heavily, as the weather window was very clearly being closed for the day. So the excellent views (alleged) from the other ridges remain to be savoured at a future time.
