Were off up to Torridon for a road trip soon and planning on doing Ben Lomond on the way up, I have done the main tourist path from Rowardennon but whats the Ptarmigan ridge like as a descent?

I was thinking I might do it as a climb and come back down the same way if its any good, and check out some lines etc etc, or is it not really worth it? The last bit looks steep enough to be unrideable 😕

(Lakes area rider so love the techy stuff)

Sanny stuck a write up of it on the GMBC website a while back. I haven't ridden it, but walked it a few times. It's definitely a notch up from the tourist path technical wise that's for sure.
