Hello,
we are set to go for our annual walking-weekend. Coming weekend our 4 days of walking starts with the South glen Shiel Ridge this saturday (May 14th), with a high camp planned near Creag nan Damh.
The next three days we will walk to Glen Shiel and, via Gleann Lichd, back to Cluanie Inn. Depending on conditions we might consider climbing a munro on route.
Is it nessecary to take ice-ax/crampons with us in the current conditions? If so, we might change our plans because we don't have those with us. Allthough we had our fair share of foul scottish weather during earlier trips in april and october (including occasional snowfields), we have no real winter-walking experience.
Hope to get some advice,
Thanks,
Arie
