UKC is telling me that Honeypot in Coire an T'sneachda has seen 2 ascents this week which has raised my eyebrow.

Are the Northern corries in nick?

How does that light dusting make any difference between dry-tooling and winter ascent? Surely none of that is axe/crampon-able?

Looks fine for early season mixed to me. Dry-tooling vs winter ascent? It would fall into the former for me if it looks like you could climb it wearing rock shoes. Judging by those pictures I think I would prefer crampons rather than rock shoes. Would be a different case if the route had a significant amount of unfrozen turf on it but it looks primarily on rock.
