The height should really be metric. Charles Matthews 15:35, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

A picture would be really nice too.

I think the FA details are probably muddled up - according to the Hamish MacInnes guidebook, the 1966 ascent was by Baillie, Patey and Bonington - I think this was televised?; in 1967 Brown and MacNaught-Davis FA'd the South Face Route and Crew and Haston FA'd the SE Arete - both on TV I think.

death and injury of many climbers is this right? I don't doubt that it's dangerous but have many people really been killed climbing it?--JBellis 12:25, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Where has the information on an imminent collapse been sourced? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.41.221.139 (talk) 21:59, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Shouldnt the country it is located in be listed in the introduction? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.243.215.92 (talk) 07:53, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Map
As this is a geographical feature, I thought it may need a map. So I have pulled together this one, but rather than add it directly to the article, thought it would be courteous (it being a new GA etc) to see what people think. Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:26, 9 February 2014 (UTC)


 * That's very helpful - although we could also use Template:Infobox Scottish island, which allows for an automatic map placement - see e.g. Eday. Ben   Mac  Dui  18:06, 9 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I think a map would be useful, and less cluttered than a full infobox. Jamesx12345 18:33, 9 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I must admit I didn't think of an infobox, the map can be moved around within the article - giving a bit more flexibility on location. Jokulhlaup (talk) 18:50, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
 * The infobox is reasonably flexible. Its standard practice to include a map and sometimes an image but you can put the map elsewhere if you wish. Ben   Mac  Dui  09:01, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Fair point, but I think that as Jamesx12345 is the main contributor, he has the final say on what is used. Jokulhlaup (talk) 18:54, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
 * An interesting re-interpretation of WP:OWN! Ben   Mac  Dui  09:28, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I was about to say something like that :-). I'll just add the map and remove the darker photo in Geography. Jamesx12345 17:59, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
