Duration: 10.5 hours
Description: Started in deteriorating visibility and increasing wind. Bagged Stob Ban (Mamores) and reached bealack of Stob Choire A'mhail at 950m, following E then ENE direction vague tracks. At bealach wind pushed me backwards a bit - estimate maybe 30mph and poor visibility. The next step would be Devil's Ridge but I judged that risky so abandoned and took path from Lochan NNE down to Falls in Glen Nevis. Another walked half way up also said he had abandoned his plan for Devil's ridge as wind was too strong even on the way up. Then, long walk up through Glen Nevis; after touristy bit, path fizzles out but easy enough to naviagte through bogs to Meanach bothy. This involved a river crossing.
