Cairngorm Club bus meet. Solo. I started at Spittal of Glenmuick going via Allt-na-giubhsaich on the normal approach track and path to Lochnagar. From the col between Meikle Pap and Cuidhe Crom I went down to the north of the lochan in the corrie with much lying snow – there had been no snow lying low down in the glen. I soon put on crampons.
