A windy, blusterous day on Ben Stack (15) Descending from Ben Stack, at the bealach of Coire nam Mang, a final view of the dramatic south-west flank of Arkle. The main bulk of Arkle is comprised of south-easterly dipping, pale grey Cambrian quartzites of the Ardvreck Group, which lie with great unconformity over the Lewisian Gneiss visible in the lower part of the photo.

A windy, blusterous day on Ben Stack (12) Descending from Ben Stack, at the bealach of Coire nam Mang and still more or less at cloud base, looking easterly over the knock and lochan landscape towards Arkle and Loch Stack.

A windy, blusterous day on Ben Stack (4) On the initial toil up the south-east ridge of Leathad na Stioma I was concentrating more on route-finding and watching where I was putting my feet rather than taking photos. But reaching the relative level ground of the bealach by Coire nam Mang allowed some respite. This is the view to the north over the Coire towards the Lewisian Gneiss knock and lochan landscape and the hint of the sea beyond. Arkle with its head in the clouds is the mountain on the right.

The south-easterly dip of the grey quartzites of the Cambrian Ardvreck Group is well seen.
