That was me! I met the woman on the way up Stob Dearg through the Corrie as her man had went up an alternate route and we got chatting and I kept in with them all day. Didn’t see any stags unfortunately!
They were very fast and I don’t think I’d have walked that quickly if I had been going on my own Were you part of the 3 guys and your mate (or you) was getting a photo on the wee ledge below the munro top? I can’t remember passing anyone else off the top of my head but you might jog my memory!
Totally agree about the descents up there, not straightforward and you need full concentration. The Rocky bits after coming off Stob Na Broige to the path would be treacherous even if it was slightly wet
