We followed the Walkhighlands route which was excellent. Paths and tracks fairly clear throughout although obscured by deeper snow at timez. Hard work making new footprints. Easier on more welltrodden parts. Wind was fairly strong and sleet was on and off. We missed the true summit but made it to the final cairn and wind shelter. No views. Wild and isolated. Wonderful. Visibility was better lower down and walk balck along Thieves Road was a delight. A challenging walk given the conditions. Reccommended.
