Agreed; winter hangs on a long time in the pass, and now I'm thinking of the stonefall, and steep-sided holes in the frozen snow, making ten-foot ice cliffs with a deep water pool at the bottom and no easy way out. At least one child has died in the pass since I came to know the region, I don't want anyone else making the same tragic mistake. The pass acts as a wind-tunnel with howling, chilling gales even when the air on either side seems still and mild. Camping at Loch Morlich with a spot of canoeing might be more enjoyable for the kids.
