My seventh munro. With meltdiceburg. Parked up near the loch, then combined into a circular with Meall Corranaich (which we climbed first). Warm, clear, sunny weather and beautiful views.Alma Aurea04/06/2022
Decent walk from Meall Corranaich to the fairly flat summit. From there, headed down to the burn and across the bog to the next burn. Wasn't the easiest to find the road but go there to our pre-left bicycles. Very enjoyable cycle back to the A827 and from there east to the car at Lawers.JAdair9728/05/2022
After Meall Corranaich, weather cleared beautifully for some brilliant summit views before the descent to the bogPDuncan8218/04/2022

With Ed, Swot & Dean. 'Easy' 2 Munros including Meall Corranaich from road side cairn in ACW direction. Bogs lower down not to bad, some deep drifted snow from approx. 700m. Intermittent views from the top as the weather closed in. Snow & hail squalls on way down. Very little wind even in the squalls.Neily There07/05/2021

Weather was fantastic today. Meall Corranaich and Meall a'Choire Leith. Didn't see a single walker today. Had both mountains all to myself. It was a bit swampy but nowhere near as bad as Beinn Heasgarnich yesterday. Views were incredible.tsharp19/09/2019

Out and back from Meall Corranaich, then down main path through Coire Odhar. Clear, mostly sunny, sweltering when the breeze dropped occasionally.Jon F25/05/2018
From Ben Lawers Car Park (NN 60865 37694). Long but easy approach to the col at NN 62083 40775. Steepish ascent to summit of Meall Corranaich, narrow but clear path, very windy on top. Clear path along the north ridge to Meall a' Choire Leith. Didn't fancy the boggy descent to the Lochan na Lairige road so returned via the same route back over Meall Corranaich.david23020107/05/2018
