| Excellent solo day out | D.Hoyle | 21/04/2023 |
| 2/2....then dropped down to Bealach Coire Mhalagain (some snow on NW aspect but not to warrant crampons). From Bealach, path WNW to The Saddle summit, higher up path lost under snow cover, steep but quite soft so easy enough. Path back to glen from W of bealach. Slightly bizarrely, very windy again below 500m. By this route managed to avoid The Forcan Ridge (which looks awesome) but I was keen to avoid solo in winter | wychwood | 27/02/2023 |
