In reply to Gone for good:
Just been to Glencoe and been in SCNL. Some harder mixed is good, but the area round Scabbard Chimney is buried in crud - climbable, but not ideal and hard work. The gullies are largely full of deep, soft, snow. Broad Gully seemed ok on the way down, but NC, SC, Twisting all need the snow to settle and SC needs freeze thaw to make some ice. Things like Pearly Gates are ok - not stunning neve but ok, dorsal arete is fine.
For anyone wondering, Beinn an Dothaidh was largely not frozen enough on Monday. Friends backed off Clonus, Pas de Deux not frozen on P1, Coup de Grace buried in crud after the first pitch.
Based on what I saw I'd say west face of Aonach Mor, scrambly ridges in Glencoe, Cairngorms in general are best bet, unless you want steep rocky mixed, in which case SCNL is ok on some routes.
