Parked in the lay-by about 1/4 mile east of the hydro track. Followed the hydro to the small dam. From there headed up to the col between Meall Garbh and Meall Greigh. I did an out and back to the summit of Meall Greigh. It was a bit boggy and the summit was in the clag. Then up Meall Garbh to the summit cairn again in mist and quite windy although it was dry. I was slightly wary of the ascent up An Stuc but it was very easy. The hardest part was the descent to the Lochan as with all the rain it was extremely slippery so had to take it steady. In dry conditions it would not have been a problem. Path from Lochan to the small dam at the end of the hydro was very boggy. Time 7 hours 15 minutes for 17 miles. | isabelle | 25/10/2022 |

Solo anti-clockwise round of Meall Greigh, Meall Garbh and An Stùc (how is that last one even a munro?) from Lawers Hotel. Arrived at the hotel early and popped the fee into the box, then set off down the road. The route up from the bone carver up through the forest and then up beside Lawers burn was quite pleasant, and a good warm up for the ascent up Sròn Mhòr and onto Meall Greigh. Took some sunrise photos and moved onto Meall Garbh - the re-ascent was fairly short - passed someone in a bivvy on the summit. Ascent up An Stuc wasn't as bad as it appeared - barely needed to use my hands, and the descent down the lochan also fine. Got back to the car a sweaty mess, but quite satisfied - total time 5h 17min | mproudfoot | 11/07/2022 |

7 munros of Ben Lawers range. Started at Lochan na Lairige, ended at Ben Lawers hotel | hummusg | 17/06/2021 |
A fine traverse of the Ben Lawers ridge from west to east, starting from the NTS car park. Visited Beinn Ghlas, Ben Lawers, Creag an Fhithich, An Stuc, Meall Garbh, and Meall Greigh. As I was solo with just the one vehicle, I had to return along the access road for the water intakes and then traverse across open country under Ben Lawers and Beinn Ghlas. 25km with 1600m of ascent in 9 hours.
