Just me today (was staying at youth hostel). After the walk yesterday I was probably still a bit tired - and this felt like a really long hard slog! Especially as the snow was knee deep (or deeper!) in places. Snow was forecast but I got off to an early start and got some stunning views on the way up. Had lunch at just over 1000m, and made it to Aonoch Beag summit after 4 hours 10 minutes (12:50pm). Then over to Aonach Mor (about 40 - 45 mins). Cloud level dropped shortly after this, and it was snowing as I made the steep descent to the bealach. The long walk back down the valley was tough. Got my feet soaking wet as I feel through the snow and into water a couple of times! Was very glad to finally get back to the hostel and have a hot shower:-)
