Chonzie does seem to be really, really busy! It is one of our 'local' Munro's, and having walked or cycled up it with groups and family for over a decade, it seems to be overly busy these days. :-( Lovely wee hill though. I’ve done it from loch tay, guaranteed solitude until the summit! Glen turret...

Looks like I'm going to be doing a course in Feb. Definitely do the course first. Don't make kit decisions until you have tried some things out on the course and had some advice. Crampons - The included ones are 10 point but I see everyone recommends 12, which I could hire. Again seems straightforw...

To get your totals which walks are you thinking of? You might struggle to meet your targets if you don’t do the obvious Munro rounds in the area and still have rest days.

I’d not bother unless you got a cheap deal on a set of b2s. Admittedly I wear b2s but only because I stockpiled them from a cheap deal.
Pair them up with some c1 crampons and you’ll be fine. My blunt grivel g10s have been used up to grade II winter routes.

Looks much better and safer your way round.

Over to you!

It's one of my favourites! The loop from the north is equally as good as the more common southerly approach,

Spidean Mialach?

You did well getting that bothy to yourselves, I've heard some terrible tales!
Best wishes for next year and hope to see more reports.

Correct! Taken from a sublime autumn evening on Beinn Eibhinn a couple of years ago.

Another festive clue. The left hand summit is often ascended via a short scramble
