My first two Munros

This was my first attempt at a Munro, and what a walk. It was a lot steeper than I expected and there was a lot more snow than was expected too this made it a very difficult walk, we nearly turned back when we got to the lost valley buttress as it was just a wall of snow; but carefully and slowly we edged our way up. Here is a map of the route and some pictures.

Well done Chris, it looks like you started with a classic.

I see you've now got Ben Starav as well - only 280 to go!
