A'Chailleach - constant snow from 560m, at the wee bothy elevation. Snow-shoes would have been ideal in the soft, deep snowpack. Particulaly wet ascent towards A'Chailleach, continuing North West from the bothy before swinging North to ascend the side from the South. Brief views in unpleasant wind before ascending.
