I'm heading over for this one in the morning, weather looks clear and bright. I've been looking at the hillside on goggle earth trying to locate a possible descent line that cuts off the corner at the top of the sheep trod. It looks like cutting the corner lower down isn't on due to crags and heather, the only route that appears vaguely trouble free is the fully committed, do or die, all eggs in one basket southerly line taken shortly after the gradient flattens and you're clear of the scree banks below the summit plateau. So you either follow the herd or go for an adventure. I'm not sure how easy it will be to pick the course back up again further down near 'lambing knots', it could be lumpy with poor visibility to the east, but there are two becks that meet in a fork to guide you. I'll probably come last covered in gorse scratches like the time I screwed up at bofra kirk fell.
