Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall Garbh has twin peaks, with the NW peak being the true summit. The slopes are mostly easy to moderate grass with craggy outcrops but the summit plateau is stony. There is easy access to the top without scrambling. The N slopes are gentle leading down to Glen Sassunn where a track continues to Kinloch Rannoch. The broad W ridge connects to An Sgorr (928m) the summit of which can be bypassed to the NW to reach Carn Gorm. To the S lies a broad ridge leading to moderate slopes down to Glen Lyon and to the E another broad ridge connects to Meall a' Bharr and on to Carn Mairg.

Did these 4 last weekend with baby (16 months) on back- took us close to 7 hours but great achievement to do all 4 in one go.
weather forecasts had been good as as predicted we seemed to be the only hills that were cloud free all day, great views later in the day to the Lawers Range .
Pretty windy on the tops so stops were quite short.
Congratulations to the 2 baggers we met- 1 on his hundredth and 1 on her half(142nd) excellent stop to be had on the way back at the Yew Pub Fortingall Hotel!!
