Description

A short day having driven from Bardowie. Took path to Coire Ardair, then snow to window & up to Stob. Still early so I followed ridge east to Carn Liath. It became clear that I made the right decision to bale out 12 days ago, as it's a very exposed section of ridge with no bale out options & the ascent to pt 991 would not have been easy. Snow bunting.

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.
