It was exactly 3.5 years ago when I climbed Schiehallion 8.2.2015 in winter snowy conditions, but fine day changing clear views, misty, inversion, fog-bow...and deep snow.

Now almost at the end of school holiday it was great opportunity to repeat the nice Munro with my daughter Cheyenne :D
She bagged another Munro and enjoyed the day very much....as you can see in the video :D :lol:
