In reply to Matthew Martin Wsm:

There's been very little action on the Buachaille (with the exception of North Buttress) and on the Ben with the recent avalanche hazards. The main ice routes on Ben Nevis, and particularly those that follow drainage lines (Point 5, Green Gully etc.) will survive, although may need a few cool days to restore them following the forthcoming thaw. I doubt that anything on the Buachaille will be worth climbing for a few days after the thaw. Ice routes on the N Face of Aonach Beag may still be climbable (if they are currently in condition), but again, very little action there recently due to avalanche hazards.

Great conditions on the West Face of Aonach Mor today. Routes up there will come back into condition very quickly:

Looking at the forecast I reckon the Clachaig bar will be about the only thing in nick.
