Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of Carn Liath is a gentle rise on a broad ridge running NE for more than 4km to terminate in the crags of Coire a Bhein. To the N of this ridge there are gentle slopes down to the Glenshirra Forest but to the S, steeper slopes are punctuated by the crags of Coire nan Gall and Coire Dubh. S of the summit a broad ridge leads down to Na Cnapanan from where easy access to the path in Coire Ardair can be attained. To the W of this ridge are steep heather slopes into Coire Ardair.

Creag Meagaidh, Stob Poite Coire Ardair and Carn Liath [Loch Laggan]
|
Long but relatively easy route. Approach is on well maintained path, but summit of Creag Meagaidh may be difficult to locate in poor visibility. Descent path is muddy in places. Coire Ardair is beautiful, and the views from route to Carn Liath are excelle

Start walking on the path from Aberarder and once the path starts climbing keep a sharp eye out for a distinct path which begins climbing to the left. Tried building a wee cairn to mark it when I was there but may not still be there. Worth saving for a clear day as the views south would be very spectacular.

A good beginners Munro, steep initial climb good views and if tired after Carn Liath walk over ridge turn left and goto mountain bothy, on western slope well worth the effort as an original bothy with upper floors still intact.
