After a bit of a stinker on Saturday on A'Chralaig i was back at the same car park today ,this time to tackle Corbett Am Bathach and Munro Ciste Dubh.Thankfully the weather was much better today,no wind,pretty mild and the sun even broke out for short spells later on Followed the WH route.

Start by going through this fence and straight up the good path to Am Bathach;

Ha Ha, brilliant snowman!

I did these when awash with white snow. The pull up to CD is fantastic, although scary as you point out!

Well done.

MFC you'll get another day. I did this in winter too and was well scary

[Frigate]

SnowMAN are you sure.
Jealous to be sure, first Kintail trip I've copped out on, Beinn Mhanach just does not compare.

The Black Chest is a classic! Great viewpoint, right in the heart of Kintail

Have been up this route twice but never in snow. Always wanted to come back to AB/CD ridge in white conditions, hopefully this winter...

[jmarkb]

A classic it is BP,a wee frost on that boggy return would have made it even better,a good winter hike,go for it
