Possibly descend via this. Any difficulties to be encountered?

In reply to Flinticus:

I don't know the route, but pause for a while to remember Flint if you get the chance.

In reply to Eeyore:

Thanks for thinking of him.

We did those two munros together years back. There's a picture in my gallery.

In reply to Flinticus:

I've walked up this shoulder, or at least the upper part of it.

It was quite a long time ago, but I can't remember any problems; I'm pretty sure there aren't any you can't just walk round.

In reply to Flinticus:

Assuming I'm thinking of the correct mountain (next to loch tulla?) Then I've come down it. It was wet but fine.

In reply to skog:

Cheers. Went up Beinn Ime from Butterbridge in the end. Nice short drive and no walk in. Snow was very firm / ice in places: difficult sinking shaft of axe into the snow.

In reply to Flinticus:

I haven't been up from that side, I'll keep it in mind (I combined it with Beinn Luibhean from the Rest and Be Thankful once, and with Beinn Narnain and the Cobbler another time).

We weren't able to get away this weekend because of prior commitments - I'm gutted at missing Saturday in the NW, it looked wonderful. We managed a family jaunt and play in the snow, up King's Seat Hill in the Ochils, yesterday, so at least we got out!

It felt very Spring-like.

In reply to skog:

Its a good route. Despite the brilliant conditions, my relatively early start time of 9am and choice of route meant I had the whole mountain to myself! Didn't see another walker / person.

Well, got there this Sunday. Went up Beinn Toaig. Good way to ascend to Odhair (also saved walking uphill in the deeper snow of the usual route up via Coire Toaig: descended this way)

In reply to Flinticus:

It was a lovely day.

It was my wife's turn to get out, though.

Still, she had a good walk!
