A cold breeze at the tops and some mist but it cleared at times to give good views. Nice craggy rock formations on the way up and the waterfalls were full with the recent rain. Got caught out by the false cairn on Beinn Dorain with the mist so had to go back up (luckily met a guy who said about the two tops, even after I read about it in the guide!)
Saw ptarmigan in their winter coats, a woodcock, ravens and heard possibly a stonechat. Great views of Loch Tulla and the surrounding hills.
