Description

Starting from Lower Falls car park following Allt Coire a Mhusgain to Coire Mhusgain and then onto the summit of Stob Ban. Then across wetern snow fields to climb the ridge up to the summit of Mullach nan Coirean. The descent was down NE ridge into forest at Sron Riabhach and the Lower Falls car park. Avalanche danger severe due to high Easterly winds and so extensive crossloading on NE to SW aspects. Ice on narrow path by the Allt Coire a Mhusgain gave interest on the ascent route.
