I've just read about this in the P&J.

I've been up there more times than I can remember, and never dreamed it was a community on this scale. I just wonder why as its quite a climb and there would be no end of sweat and toil to collect water every day!
Almost unbelievable, like you I've been up so many times and from all sides, even the bigger streams Finglenny and Milduan are a helluva hike each day.
I thought they had a well.
They have 2, wouldn't have thought it enough tho.
