On to Creise, Mam Coire Easain. Then snowy,steep slightly tricky descent onto ridge in and across to Meall a Bhuiridh. Good snow slopes much of the way back as far as Creag Dhubh.

looking up into the coire it looked an impossible ascent, where the scrambling to this summit looked easier and maybe a bit more fun. Ferocious gusts of wind had me sitting down a few times, but it was well worth it. Maybe I am getting t like this scrambling malarkeyLizzieG12/08/2021

I had an interesting day today, Munro bagging above the Glencoe Ski centre. I got two Munros; Meall a’ Bhuiridh (1108m) and Creise (1100m) and two Munro Tops; Clach Leathad (1099m) and Stob a’ Ghlais Choire (996m). Parking at the ski centre, I headed up underneath the chairlifts for Meall a’ Bhuiridh, then over the connecting ridge to Clach Leathad at the southern end of Creise ridge. I failed to take a photo on top of Creise as I saw a second cairn which I thought was higher, only to check my GPS on this second cairn which told me, I had walked straight past the Munro summit cairn. It didn’t matter as I was heading for the Top of Stob a’ Ghlais Choire and expected to come back over Creise (plus I wasn’t turning back as the hordes were approaching). I met a couple as they came up out of Glas Choire, which I had already ruled out as a descent route, since it looked too steep but they said it was ok. So I headed down and cursed them repeatedly, but I made it, there is a thin rechillyman830/08/2020
