A Menagerie on Dinosaur Pink Elephant, Creag an Dubh Loch: Photo Gallery
The beauty of Creag an Dubh Loch reflected in the still waters was tempered, ironically, by the midge-pocalypse resulting from the calm conditions.
The final approach to the enormous sweep of the Central Slabs. Dinosaur begins just left of the lowermost tongue of vegetated slab.

Above the first overlap on the devious and difficult pitch 3 – the awkward move described is up and left of Andy through the next overlap.
Andy on the right bounding rib of the obvious central corner above the terrace, which turned out to be a very bold pitch.
Potentially the highlight of the route – Andy doing a fine job of escaping the gopping grimness of Pink Elephant and linking up with Black Mamba for a stellar pitch!
