Last few Km are intermittently (or mostly) pathless, boggy and defiantly not rideable.
Underfoot from the Bothy to any of the Munro’s is hard going. It is not a Logical Munro bagging launch point. The Bothy is a cold hole in winter, being in a frost hollow. With the roof now partially breached the roof space could hold spindrift, so if you warmed the place up with a fire you could find the ceiling will start dripping, even away from the hole, however it still provides shelter………at present.
I’ve been in several times, but unusually for a Bothy also failed a couple of times. Once grinding to a halt in thigh to waist deep snow in the dark attempting to make after work on a Friday night. Resulting in a bivi, and once caught by a gust of wind on frosted rocks resulting in a twisted nine weight bearing ankle and a long crawl, thankfully on that occasion a bit of snow helped.
