Description

A weekend trip practising snow holing.
We headed up to the Window and dug ourselves a hole. There were a few there already but there was enough space for us to build one. Once built we headed out and ticked of the summit of Creag Meagaidh. Though I had climbed on Meagy a few times I`d never wandered along to the summit. Interesting a accurate nav required.
A Night in the snow hole, in the morning we headed east along the ridge to pick of the two other munroes on the way back to the car.
A very successful trip.

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.
