Not been but Beinn Eighe was good last weekend, it has stayed cold and the snow level has dropped a fair bit the last day or so. Worth a punt I'd say. (But I'm talking about mixed routes).

Thanks Mike,
I wasn't sure if there was enough freeze thaw to bring in Coire an Fhamair. My last visit wasn't successful Due to conditions.
Thanks again.

If I was fit I'd definitely be taking a punt, but mainly for the mixed routes. I'd be interested to hear what the ice is like - a recent SAIS blog reported no ice in the northern corries of Liathach.

I could see Beinn Bhan last Friday and there was only a light dusting on the very summits.
Guaranteed no ice but may have snowed lower down since and brought some mixed stuff in.

Thanks Euan, I guess in the VI VII range I'm limited . I guess, at least some ice is needed on routes such as God's,Overhanging and Genesis. think it might be Beinn Eighe.
Thanks again to all.......
