Goodness me, how did I miss this report when it first came out? Sublime!

I was thinking of doing the Bone Caves after my walk of the Great Glen Way but after watching your video, I was thinking of climbing Stac Polliadh. Will Stac Polliadh be snow covered at that time of year? Also, how long will it take me to climb with stopping to take videos/pictures along the way?
Cheers,

Whilst not impossible, it is unlikely that there will still be much snow about in that part of Scotland by mid-April. Maybe just the odd patch. The walk up Stac Polaidh is quite short, circles round the back of the hill then onto the ridge, and is only a few hours there and back. It then depends on how much scrambling you want to enjoy/avoid, and whether you go to the actual summit, which involves a short exposed scramble, as to whether its 2 hours or 4. More here;
