Backpacking route over tops of Creag Meagaidh from nature reserve. Crossed footbidge and used ATV track as far as possible on ascent to Sron a'Choire. Continued to Creag Mhor and then Puist Coire Ardair. A traverse around Moy Corrie to climb Meall Coire Choille-rais. From here along ridge to An Cearcallach North Top and An Cearcallach. Returned along ridge then logh pull across open plateau to Creag Meagaidh, then E top and path down to The Window. Continued W to climb Carn Dearg and then Meall a' Mheanbh-chruidh. Up to this point had been mainly in cloud with glipses of crags, but the lower peaks were clear and some sunshine. Returned E to The Window and descent via Coire Ardair.RobertP24/10/2022

Solo. From main road near Luiblea. After ascending An Cearcallach and Meall Coire Choille-rais. Walked up to the east top of Creag Meagaidh and down to the top of the window. Continued to Carn Dearg (888m) and Meall a' Mheanbh-chruidh (819m). I left the second top and headed towards the window, descending alongside (approximately) the Moy Burn. There is no path except a rather poor one towards the end. The day was dry and very warm. There were still some snow patches around.pwbellarby10/06/2006
