Epic snowy walk. Clear and sunny till summit of White Coomb. Very cold when not moving. Alone. Saw no one till return on path after burn crossing. River in spate. Had to remove one boot to paddle one step at far side. 7.5 hour total. 2h to Lochcraig Head . 5h to White Coomb summit. Beautiful. First time with microspikes. Great.
