Description

Felt like a very long ascent after the full on week. Spent the time looking for somewhere to dig a snow-hole. Had a very early start to find location and dig snow hole, then went to the summit. Night was very clear and cold. Learned simple lessons about gas canisters on snow!On the walkout as there was a long run out we descended without without crampons by cutting steps.

Area : Creag Meagaidh Loch Lochy To Loch Laggan)

This area includes the famous Creag Meagaidh Range and surrounding peaks of at least 600m. It stretches east of the A82 between Spean Bridge and Invergarry, and north of the A86 as far east as Stob Coire Dubh. There are a large number of impressive winter climbs in Coire Ardair and endless navigation opportunities on and around the high central plateau of Creag Meagaidh itself. The mountains to the north and east of this range are under East Highlands, Monaliadth Mountains.
