I was the (possibly the only) other walker who said hello to you on the approaches to the summit (wearing the shorts) passing through one of the snowfields - seems like an age ago now as I look out my Aboyne home window to frequent snow/sleet showers pushing through today - That was a fairly steep descent off the plateau down to the stalkers path avoiding the large snow patches...getting up in half an hour was good going....I got real lucky on the ascent of it's neighbour Geal Charn...just before the summit I got extremely fortunate to sight twice (and photograph) a white tailed eagle...the last I saw it was heading your general direction! - I Enjoyed your report and hope you did not end up with the sun burn I did and may well pass by you in future walking.

I'd been thinking of going up by the west ridge from a wild camp by the Allt Cam in order to combine it with a round of the Aonach Beag group. Is that track bikeable up to the foot of the west ridge? It looks good in your photo but I'm not sure how far up that was taken.

This report has a few more pictures of this area you may find helpful. http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=61665
Walking can be dangerous and all walkers must take personal responsibility for their own safety. You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map.
