Description

3 of us had initially hoped for a grade one gully up to Creag Meagaidh, but on arrival with the top half in cloud and snow melt that potentially threatened to be compounded by rain we elected instead to stay high and take the series of Peaks to the east (made possible by winds easing from previous days).

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.
