Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sron a' Choire Ghairbh lies on the W side of Loch Lochy separated from Meall na Teanga by Cam Bhealach. Sron a' Choire Ghairbh forms a horse-shoe ridge around the large Coire Glas with crags and scree/boulders slopes into the corrie. The more S ridge has steep rocky faces and the safe descents are S to Cam Bhealach or follow to the ridge to Meall nan Dearcag before descending. The more N ridge, Meall a' Choire Ghlais is separated from Ben Tee, by Bealach Easain from where tracks lead NE to White Bridge.

The ascent of Sron a' Choire Ghairbh is up a very clear zig-zagging stalkers path. Even in deep snow it is possible to identify it, and as said before it is a steep pull up to the ridge. To descend I recommend traversing Sron a' Choire Ghairbh's east ridge which is quite narrow to its top Sean Meall. The descent is then continued to Meall nan Dearcag and on back to Kilfinnan. Great fun in the snow.

An early start today and a long drive; 3hrs later we were leaving the Eas Chia aig car park heading North. Superb sunrise, clear skies & freezing cold and the powder snow just got deeper and deeper. Stayed on the RHS of the stream until 212935 but the path was so filled in with snow that we just headed steeply up to Sron a'Choire Gairbh. A quick descent to the bealach and back up to Meall na Teanga (ice axe again). Great views of snow pastered hills in every direction. Finished by heading South and then down via Meall Odhar. Almost 8 hours with soft snow & too much Christmas turkey last week.

Great stalkers' track all the way from lochyside to the Cam Bhealaich, and then on zigzags about half way from the col to the Sron summit - but it's a very steep pull direct to the summit from the top of the zigzags, especially in snow and even WITH a following gale!
