Your expert’s note

The ridge is exposed and commonly reported as windy with mist that moves in fast, so a clear view is never guaranteed even in the October-to-May window - allow a buffer rather than booking it as a single fixed slot. There is no shelter, no shop and patchy mobile signal on the ridge itself.
