I've almost been blown off (twice) coming down the other side towards Applecross- that side of the pass has absolutely nothing to stop the gales blowing its full intensity. Peeps think the hairpins are the tricky bit, but on a windy day it's the other side that's tricky.
That did indeed look "f#*king hell".

It can be pretty gusty!
Very unlucky with the weather, top marks for enthusiasm it wasn't for the faint hearted.
cheers. I go up there a fair bit. That's probably the worst I've seen it.
