Description

Magnificent 2 days.
Caught the train from Spean Bridge to Corrour Station. Walked all the way in to Meanach Bothie on the Saturday. The conditions were not the best with intermittent rain and high wind. Ground very soft under foot and the river running in spate. After an enjoyable night in the bothy we then neaded North up Stob Ban . The snow conditions were very wind scoured neve with a crust that often failed when weight applied. Crampons and Axe out from ~700m altitude. After topping out on Stob ban we retraced our steps and then descended to the Coll followed by an enjoyable hike up Stob Choiri Claurigh. Short techy alpine ridge to point 1121m then long descent down through the forest to Spean Bridge Station.
30km in total with 1250m of ascent.

Area : Ben Nevis & Aonach Mor (Fort William To Loch Leven)

This area covers the mountains between Fort William, Loch Leven (to the south) and Loch Treig (to the east). The area includes Ben Nevis and Carn Mor Dearg, The Mamores, The Aonachs and The Grey Corries. An impressive 20 Munros are split equally by Glen Nevis and the waters of Abhainn Rath. Relatively accessible from the A82, these mountains hold some classic walking and climbing routes such as The Ring of Steall in the Mamores and Point Five Gully on Ben Nevis. Includes all major peaks above 600m.
