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 malarkey | LizzieG | 12/08/2021 |

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 re | chillyman8 | 30/08/2020 |
