A great route on a continually interesting mountain. I opted to climb the ridge directly from the land rover track rather than at the bealach. Despite deep snow the path was always fairly obvious and the ridge between Binnein Mor and Na Gruaghaichean was fantastic - feeling safe and exhilerating with some easy scrambling. Deep snow and high winds made it hard work but the views accross to Ben Nevis and back over Glen Coe were a tremendous reward.
