Monadhliath Mountains means "grey mountains". Running in a northeast to southwest direction, the mountains lie on the western side of Strathspey, to the west of the Cairngorms and to the south east of Loch Ness. The mountains are within the Highland council area, and the south and east fringes are within the Cairngorms National Park. The high point of the range is Càrn Dearg, at 945 m/3100ft, located 24 km south of Inverness.
Today`s target was to reach the Munro carn sgulain, Having missed it from a previous walk in the area. Parked at strone and followed a route seen on walk highlands, followed a track until it finished. The ground was iced, turf not frozen, and a few inches of soft snow covering the Heather, which made for hard going once the track finished. We reached the top of geal charn, 766, dropping height and regaining over to am Bodach 794. The weather started to come in quite horrid at this point, and with one party member struggling, estimated time to the peak was still over an hour at the pace we were moving, so the decision was made to return the way we came. Tough going through some deep drifts over wet bog.
