First hills of the year - beautiful weather and just enough snow to improve the aesthetics. Did the route as per the WH walk descriptor.
From the car park early stretch into the hills
Early view of Stob Ban
Zoomed
Slippy section coming up beside the waterfall
Followed by a gentle climb onto the ridge
... and views to Bidean nam Biam
... Sgurr a'Mhaim
... the Ben
... and the rest of the walk up to Stop Ban
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!
Amazing viewpoint
