Description

Spent the night in the Berlingo at the Creag Meagaidh car park. I went directly up Carn Liath by the Southern ridge from Aberarder, circumventing Na Cnapanan. there were quite a few snow field to cross but they weren't steep so no need to get out the crampons or ice axe as you could kick small steps. At the top it was such a strong wind I thought I was going to have to crawl off the summit but by using my pole I just about managed.

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.
