Though I have had a go at doing so twice, I have yet to complete the Glensax horseshore and this was taken on a freestyle descent to the floor of the glen becase I needed to return to Edinburgh that evening. The photo captures a scene from sufficient height that all the hill don't look so high but the range is 500-700 metres. However, being observant enough to make out trees will gain you a sense of scale. The hills at the head of the glen are Dun Rig to the right and Stake Law to its left. It looks as if a whole day will be needed to complete the horseshoe and a cooler one would be ideal.
