In reply to Father Noel Furlong and Pbob:
thanks for the feedback- were either of you on the an socach-an riabhachan-sgurrr na lapaich part of the range? only concern is that the narrower parts of the ridge or steeper descents might have awkward patches, but if they're all avoidable then will leave the axes at home, as doesn't look like there's going to be more snow this week...
cheers
gregor
