We had hoped to maybe find some grade I/II gullies in Beinn Ghlas's eastern corries to run through some simple ropework. However as there was so much fresh snow around, easily up to three or four feet in some drifts, we decided against it and went for Lawers summit instead.
As the clouds cleared, we got to see the summit of Ben Lawers from the ridge betweeen it and Beinn Ghlas.
The southern buttress's of Ben Lawers covered in fresh snow.
On the final slopes up to the summit with Beinn Ghlas in the backgound and the Tarmachans to the right.
The summit with it's first visitor of the day enjoying his lunch!
Ben Nevis and the CMD covered in snow, and sunshine!
360 view from Ben Lawers summit; snow as far as the eye can see!

Watching the sun set over Stob Binnein and Ben More as we headed back to the visitor centre car park.

Knew I'd be missing a great day - Gunner will be stealing a march on the rest of us with his ever improving fitness!
Better get the crampons out and work on the winter fitness myself.
(I'll use them to kick myself up the arse - that should provide the necessary motivation - not to mention entertainment for those watching - when I eventually get a break from Uni studies. Ho hum, the pressures of student life!)
