Last year I failed to complete Mullach Fraoch-coire after doing A' Chralaig due to lots of snow and almost zero visibility. If you remember we ended up on a pinnacle and could see no way to proceed.
Yesterday I got back to it and got to the top. I saw the section that stopped us last time, it was passable on a path to the side which must have been obliterated by snow on the last attempt. There was at least one other passable sections that we had climbed over last time. Yesterday was very cold but still no snow on top. Visibility appeared to be a million miles, what a view. It's amazing what you can accomplish when you can actually see what you are doing.

Doesn't count.

Besides... a snow bash is much more fun :-)
Right, I'm going back tomorrow. I am in a real quandry now as I cannot remember if I went via Beauly on my first visit or through Inverness :-(
