Debbie, Alex, Dave, Paul and I. Challenging day. Snowed constantly from about 300m. A couple of dodgy bits on ascent changed our plan from up/down the same way to a more circular route. Came down to the bealach and then dropped into the boggy glen and yomped until we hit the bulldozer track and then yomped along it to the bridge then around to the car. I had a fall on wet/icy grass and slide/tumbled about 50 feet. Pole bent trousers ripped but apart from bruises i was OK if a little shaken. Top fun as always
