Glorious clear skies, -9 °C at car park but a bit milder high up (inversion). Light wind so very pleasant on Glas Maol. Microspikes essential on frozen snow.NorfolkPT2112/01/2024
A round of tops: Meall Odhar, Druim Mor, Little Glas Maol and Creag Leacach SW Top via Glas Maol and Creag Leacach. Started at the Devil's Elbow parking area and walked up the side of the road to the top of the pass, then headed up the partially snow-covered path to Meall Odhar, across to Glas Maol, then countoured around the 1000m line to the bealach between Glas Maol and Carn of Claise. Before reaching Carn of Claise, headed SE up to Druim Mor. Returned back to Glas Maol the same way, and once again contoured around - this time to Little Glas Maol. Headed back to Glas Maol and this time reached the summit, before heading over the ridge to Creag Leacach, then around to the SW top, and then dropped down to just before Meall Gorm, then then down to All Coire a' Bhathaich, and followed that back out to the Devil's Elbow. Blue skies and freezing winds for the most part, though the soft snow with a thin crusty top layer made it a little tougher going than expected. Total Time 6h 43mimproudfoot06/01/2024
From large roadside parking area to WNW. Dirt road up to Meal Odhar then carried on. On to Little GM and Monega Hill and return same way for a 12km round.jonglew16/09/2023

8.8 mile circular from small car park below Sron na Gaoithe. Up steeply contouring Sron na Gaoithe then easy grassy tracks up to Glas Maol's broad summit. From here we retraced our steps a little but then headed onto Cairn of Claise and finally Carn an Tuirc descending steeply to the path to Carn an Tuirc hut then following this back to car park. Amazing patchwork/sunny conditions with a light breeze. Great views especially from Cairn of Claise. From the Fife Lomonds south to Ben Macdui/Braeriach north. 760m ascent. Unsurprisingly quite a few people about.DanTrig16/09/2021
