Description

Mountain: Stob Coire na Cloiche
Snowing when I woke up. Tea and back to bed!
Got going too late in the day to do what I`d wanted - the Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan horseshoe - but headed that way anyway.
At the bealach there was a biting wind.
Crossed 901 and 906 and pushed along towards the stob. Stopped just before it to check escape routes and ID`d a break in the cliffs just after the stob.
Enjoyed the stob climb. Descended into cloud and a squall and then a thunder clap. Run away!
Return to camp along Glen a Choilich.

Area : Glen Affric and Kintail

South of Loch Mullardoch you will find the Glen Affric and Kintail area whose southern boundary is the A87 road to Inverness. The Five Sisters of Kintail, Beinn Fhada, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan and Carn Eighe are just some of the impressive peaks in this area, and all have their own unique selling points such as remoteness, size, steepness or height. As a result, peaks in the list are all over 900m.
