First day of May weekend 2014.
Parked in Glen Falloch in the layby near Keilator.
Started in field and down to bridge under railway. Track into the Glen for a while then path and open hillside onto base of Sron Gharbh. Path continues along Twistin Hill all the way to An Caisteal. Plenty of snow patches and old cornices. Impressive amounts of snow in gullies.
Drop down to the bealach and then rocky but easy ascent to Beinn a'Chroin.
Descended North after the second top. Slight path descends the shoulder all the way into Coire Earb.
Boggy path makes its way down until track is joined back to the start.
