Munro - Binnein Mor

I bit tricky with some contorted drifting snow and cornices. The top
surface of the snow was falling away so care was definitely needed
here. Of course we also had to return along the ridge but at least we
had a trail marked.

Some good alpine views and the full account of the walk can be found on
my web site.

Hi Lindsay,

good view from Aonach Beag and Stob Coire Bhealaich. Did you ever do the
descent from Stob Coire Bhealaich towards Sgurr Choinnich Beag ? It looks
quite steep. Is it better/safer to go 220m to the SW and then descent to the
bealach between StCBh and SgC ?

Theo - Many years ago I climbed up from Sgurr Choinnich Beag onto
Aonach Beag in poor westher conditions and ended up going over slippery
rock. There was some evidence of tracks but I soon lost them. I
would only do it again if I could see the route.

Thanks for the info/warning.

I've done this route and went up a steep slanting rake running across
the face between crags. It was greasy and steep at the top. I wouldn't
like to try and find it in mist.
