This from Michelle and Brian, a couple of friends, in Gaelic with subtitles. It includes Beinn na Cro and the hills out the back. Lovely!

Back to the usual west coast winters then. No snow just lots of cold rain. Just before Christmas the hills were looking alpine with not a lot of rock showing through the thick layer of snow that stretched from sea level to summit but in contrast to the last two winters, all the snow has now gone and the Atlantic has delivered a succession of cold rain from its mid ocean cupboard. But the high rocks are iced up although there’s no snow and not being in the mood for carrying axe or crampons I headed past Torrin intending to go up An Stac next to Blaven, which had its head in the clouds. Just as I drove past the head of Loch Slapin the sun came out and lit up the gabbro boulders high on the ridge of Beinn na Cro just above me so on the other side of the bridge I did a u-turn and before I knew it I was booted up and making for those irresistible heights.
