Day 3 of the Easter Glen Coe trip and decided to just do a single munro to rest the legs after two days walking. A longish walk followed by a steady climb to bealach Easan where we entered the snow line. Chose a line that was a bit too steep particularly with the lying snow that was not deep enough to kick steps or plant your feet in and just became very slippy. This was made worse as I twisted my ankle damaging the ligaments (again) and then one of my newly purchased Leki poles failed!
Snow was a little deeper on the summit proper and we didn't hang around.

Everything feels better at the summit

Headed further west on the decent to Corr na Beinne in an attempt to find a more gentle line off the hill, but oit was all tricky with the snow/injured ankle/broken walking pole. It was a relief to reach the bealach again and the trudge back to the car.
