"With Jonathan Bellarby. From car park at NH200233, up SE ridge of Sgùrr na Lapaich, including some snow fields. On to Mullach Cadha Rainich, Mam Sodhail, and An Tudair. Just before An Tudair Beag descended with some difficulty to Allt Coire Leachavie. Clear with good views. Much snow on N facing slopes with many cornices.
