Hi All
Walking up tourist route with a mate on Tuesday-am assuming there is
little snow on summit -and normal walking boots/ poles will be adequate gear.
Any info from anyone up there recently would be appreciated.
Thanks

I saw very little snow on the Ben from Glencoe, but it was visible, so I would guess that there are a few patches, but easily avoided.

Should be loads of photographs around to show conditions as the good weather should have encouraged lots of people to get up there.

There is still quite a bit of snow around the summit cairn and patches down to about 1250m, but it's all very soft and manageable without crampons or an axe.

There's a photo on yesterdays blog taken from the top of North East Buttress, looking over to the summit. Might be of some use.
