| From Strathanmore to Creag Ruadh up a boggy then snowy NE flank. Pleasant ridge over its east top then to Meallan nan Uan proper. Got a touch misty and snowy at this point, but we pushed on over tough terrain to Sgurr a Ghlas Leathaid and Sgurr a Choire rainich, using the beallach between the two as a navigational aid. The sun eventually came out, allowing us to trudge through the fresh snow to Sgurr a Mhuilinn. The way back to Strthanmore was riven with marshy ground and peat hags, so we followed the Allt an t-Strathain Mhoir, crossing just above a waterfall to get back to the car. 5.5hrs in total. | summitter | 17/11/2019 |
