In addition to your normal base gear for winter hill walking ( ice axe andd crampons are strongly recommend) , please bring water shoes for river crossing.
This pair of Munros are much less visited than their better known neighbour Creag Meagaidh to the east. Their lower slopes may be boggy, but the walk along the summit ridge of Beinn a'Chaorainn is a delight.
