The path up Sron a Choire Ghairbh is one of those excellent zigzagging stalker's paths which gave me no trouble at all until I reached the snowline. There the path disappeared and I was into the mist again. I continued up on a bearing until the slope flattened out and I knew I was on the crest of the ridge. I then turned left and continued on another bearing, now trudging through up to a foot of snow. It wasn't too long before the summit cairn loomed up out of the mist. Unlike the previous day, the snow was soft and I had no problem finding my way down again simply by following my own trail of bootprints.
