I'll be keeping an eye out for your winter walks to see how the conditions change as I am walking Dalwhinnie to Fort William in Mid January along the Theives Road via Corrour. Cheers.

Where there wasn't much snow I'd have been scraping them on rocks much of the time and they would have been a hazard rather than helpful. Without trekking poles it would have been much more difficult/ I was wearing Ecco Biom hike boots.

Never had that since, just snow and or ice.<br />What shoes did you wear here Chris?<br />Why could crampons not be used? Looks icy and snowy for them to grip on. That pic of the slope looks slippery!<br />Great trip report.Tony Hobbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240034827464569055noreply@blogger.com
