Hi, we are thinking of bagging this munro at Easter and wondered if anyone had been up there recently? What are the snow conditions?
We are not equipped or competent to use ice axes or crampons. (Mum Dad + 2 kids 9+12)
I know there has been an unusual amount of snow this winter and need to know how this westerly hill has been affected/carries snow generally.
Thanks Cathy.

I would be very surprised if there was much left by then - but I have no up-to-date knowledge of it though.  More likely to be snow-free than almost any other Munro, I guess!  Enjoy - I'm going in May.

There is every chance you 'may' need ice axce and crampons on Ben More on Mull at Easter. Its not had quite the same covering that the mainland has had this winter but last time I saw the webcam clear it had snow on the top. You can check out the webcam on my website, most days its covered in cloud but on a clear day you can see the top. Some piccies here of it in December 2005. You're best deciding closer the time really, some great hills close by you could do instead if it looks too snowy on top.
