Did it today.
Used axe on the climb up onto cmd, could have avoided snow patches and stuck to the rock/scree.
Snow patches on ridge avoidable, loads of snow on the Ben summit.
Instead of coming down the zigzags from McLean's steep i , umm, 'boot skiied'? With walking poles a lot of the descent to not much above the lochan - must have saved me a huge amount of time because I did the whole route in 8 hours and I'm not that fit!
