Starting at the ski center it's a fairly gental walk around the right side of Carn Gorms shoulders, you will then see two horseshoes in the distance these are the left one's routes, around another 30 minutes walk and you will be at the rocky bottom of the faces, watch your step as theirs a stream to the left and a big bolder field under that snow. Usualy well used so best sticking to foot prints. After climbs you can head Easy and bag Carn Gorm or head back down the way you came, Windy Col is an ideal route to walk up and down.

Blue, Bienn Eighe Traverse Grade 1 

A hike I have done many times a great one and a memorable one, starting from the car park you have a little bit of a boggy walk, once past you will hit a rocky and then scree path, fairly steep in area and in winter it can feel like a gully climb. Once up you will hit a cairn going right you will see pinnacles instantly and a spectacular view. The pinnacle can be tricky in heavy ice but a lot of the fun they go all the way to the peak. Coming back you will pass the cairn again and head left more a low grade traverse it's still a spectaclular place to be skirting round to the second peak and back on yourself.
