Description

From the car park towards Coire Ardair. Up The Window. At the watershed took a south bearing on grass & scree slope leading to the summit plateaux. Bearing to top of first gully SE of The Window (480 883). From here a 188-degree bearing to easternmost craggy feature on 1090m contour line. Continued on main footpath to summit cairn (Creag Meagaidh 1128m). Returned the same way.
Mixed of sunny spells and heavy showers, including sleet at the top. Mixed visibility; poor at the top. Strong winds, gale force gusts. Beautiful whenever the sun poked through the clouds.

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.
