Description

0900 - 16.00, 18.5km, 1420m. Grey Corries, Central Highlands, Scotland..
Little high altitude cloud, strong to gale force wind on ridges, very cold. Corriecholle, Stob Coire Gaibhre, Stob Coire na Ceannain, Stob Choire Claurigh, Stob Coire an Laoigh, Stob Coire Easain, Beinn na Socaich, Dam, tramway back to GR 256788.A day of fantastic weather tidying up tops! I got a lift up to the forest edge, which was great, and at the end of the day into Spean Bridge where I waited for Nicky to pick me up. The wind was so strong that it was easier to walk on the windward side of the ridges with crampons on leaning into the wind. Stob Coire an Laoigh was a struggle even on hands and knees!

Area : Ben Nevis & Aonach Mor (Fort William To Loch Leven)

This area covers the mountains between Fort William, Loch Leven (to the south) and Loch Treig (to the east). The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath. Relatively accessible from the A82, these mountains hold some classic walking and climbing routes such as The Ring of Steall in the Mamores and Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
