| Great day out with amazing views | Kevthecat | 23/09/2020 |
| 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 |
| 76th Munro | lojzi860621 | 09/11/2019 |
| We stayed at the Glencoe ski resort so we headed up the path directly inline with the ski tow. This was an interesting walk through the levels of the ski runs. we made a direct line alongside the last ski tow to the summit, glad its summer and not winter to bag this munro. Easy descent down if a bit boggy towards Glas Coire and back to ski centre. with Richie | Zoe Little | 21/07/2019 |
| Along tracks from Glencoe Mountain Resort up Meall a' Bhuiridh, then across bealach to Creise, along ridge to Stob a' Ghlais Choire, descending to the north, and contouring round back to the Resort | kdbennett | 07/06/2019 |
| A steady pull up on a fine sunny day with a nice breeze, perfect for hill walking. Next stop Creise. | Walker Dan | 17/05/2019 |
| Light dusting of snow on the tops this morning. Started at the ski centre and I walked up, under the ski lift for a while, and then on grass and then stones up to Meall a' Bhuiridh and then down and up the ridge to Creise. Great views on top, particularly of Ranoch Moor. Came back the same way. Had a quick drink in the newly rebuilt Kingshouse. | tsharp | 04/05/2019 |

Enjoyable, easy scramble up to Mam Coire Easain then very little ascent along the ridge to the summit of Creise.
