As someone who lives close to the #alps and almost in the #blackforest I‘m used to steep climbs, long ascents, massive altitude differences and very exposed trails. One does run the risk to jump to the conclusion that the #bennevis with his 1.345m height is a ‚meeh‘ kinda #mountain But ☝️ (speaking for the ascent via the infamous Càrn Mòr Dearg-Arrête): 0️⃣ you are starting from almost sea-level 1️⃣ 2.000m of positive ascent on 23km is no walk in the park 2️⃣ there aren‘t any road signs 3️⃣ they aren‘t any distinguishable trails for 90% of the your way 4️⃣ there is mud 5️⃣ there are tons of loose stones 6️⃣ there are very very exposed trails 7️⃣ it‘s cold 8️⃣ oh god, there is wind! So: If you got the chance (and the guts) to run the CMD-arrête, then do so! If you see any scot running then feel deep respect for the most bad-ass runners! #trailrunning #trails #THR33KY #enduranceguerilla #lochaber #carnmordearg #scotland #fortwilliam #outsideisfree #mountainrunning #mountains #wymtm #fromwhereirun #instarunners
