cruach fhiarach, the brack, the brack SW top, from coilessan, fresh powder snow made hard work of it. | robertphillips | 12/02/2017 |
40th – Solo. From Ardgartan, following Forestry Commission path to Bealach between the two Corbetts. E ridge to Ben Donich, then NW ridge to The Brack. Dry, no wind, but cloud base between 500 – 700m all day, snow down to 400m, snow quite deep in places and lying on wet grass. Hard earned summits. | RGibbs | 05/02/2017 |
A wet, misty day, with strong winds at the top. The route from Coilessan is so much easier if you can find the nice path on the east side of the ridge. Instead, I went along the top of the ridge with many ups and downs, which are not easy to negotiate in poor visibility. But I found the path on the way down, and it gave a quick and very easy descent. Thoroughly soaked, so Cnoc Coinnich will have to wait for another day (it's supposed to be fun, isn't it?). | Gill | 15/12/2016 |
