Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall Glas lies at one end of a curved ridge with Beinn Cheathaich (937m) at the other, with both ends of the ridge leading into Glen Lochay. Whilst the summit ridge has steeper slopes and rocky outcrops around it, this is a hill of mainly easy slopes. Meall Glas can be climbed from Glen Lochay from the track by the Lubchurran Burn, but is mostly climbed from the S on easy and often boggy slopes.

Well, I climbed Meall Glas on Jan 12th after reading that the Munroe Ninja were going to be out there ontthat day. Myself and partne rleft early and were very dissapointed not to spot the Ninja. However, what a day on the hills. Total snow (enough allowing us to slide all the way home). One of the best mountain days out I have ever had. Left from the usual recommended route and it took about 9 hours (due to snow and snow ball fights). I would imagine this mountain is an easy one during the summer, but a cracker to go up during the winter. www.munroeninjas.co.uk for a real good laugh....

climbed on 15/8/07. Took the road through Auchessan, and lost all sight of any path/track after crossing the second fence. The ascent was undulating, with the less steep parts covered with hillocks, lochans and muddy swamps, making for a long, tedious climb. Didn't stay at the summit for long, and came down more directly. The most eventful moment was having to detour once I got back to the farm, as an angry black dog would not let me use the path leading to the main road. Had to go the long way (through a field of sheep) to get to the bridge, and back to my car.

Climbed along with Sgiath Chuil on 26 Feb 06. I've got to disagree with some of the other comments. I thought the walk was over very reasonable and easy ground. The view when you first see the Meall Glas 'massif' is simply stunning, especially on a winters day. Combined with Sgiath Chuill, this is an excellent day on the hills.
