Sgáirneach Mhór (991m) & Bheinn Udlamain (1011m) - 02/04/2022
Distance: 16km, Ascent 783m, Time 6h
We parked in layby 79 at the Pass of Drumochter on the A9 and followed the Walk Highlands route. It was very chilly at the pass but we soon warmed up and the day was fine and still. Lots of Red Grouse all along the route; a pair of Golden Plover near Coire Creagach; Mountain Hare footprints in the snow. The steep descent by Fraoch-choire was not as bad as I was expecting from the Walk Highlands description, though crossing the steep snow field near the top of this descent would be hazardous had the snow been harder/icy.
