First hills of the year - beautiful weather and just enough snow to improve the aesthetics. Did the route as per the WH walk descriptor.

On the route to the summit we met a man who (sensibly) kept his dog on a lead so it couldn't do any mischief with the cornices - B&B weren't on the lead and they were under very watchful eyes and arrived at the summit safely.

To find the cairn deep in snow with its very own snowball!

It was a longer than expected walk to the 2nd Munro, but very straightforward.
