Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall nan Eun is a relatively compact rocky peak at the head of Glen Ceitlein. It lies to the E of Stob Coir an Albannaich, to which it is connected by Meall Tarsuinn and this is one of the main ascent routes. The other major route is through Glen Ceitlein, on the path to the N of Allt Ceitlein, into Coire Riabach and up the W ridge of Meall nan Eun. An ascent from W ridge of Stob Gabhar is also possible, but the N face of Meall nan Eun has difficult rock slabs. The final possible route is from Loch Tulla to the E (parking at Victoria Bridge), but this leads to difficult rocky E and S slopes and is not recommended.

Stob Coir' an Albannaich and Meall nan Eun
|
Moderate climb on grassy slopes leading to craggy tops. Crags can be avoided, but careful navigation is required between peaks and this will be difficult in poor visibility.

Path E from summit S.C.an Albannaich pretty clear and descends small gully to left when ridge levels out at 880m. Ascent from 754m bealach to summit M.Tarsuinn and onwards to Meall nan Eun reasonable gradient to flat summit plateau. return NW to 633m bealach with care and follow Allt Ceitlein to bridge crossing and vehicle track back to Coileitir bridge. The descent down glen on N bank Allt Ceitlin is very very wet - poor path emerges further down, churned up by cattle - gaiters required - however had been lot rain overnight. No cracking stalkers path here!

Black Mount Estate; permitted route during stalking 1st August to 20th October 2007, including weekends. Glen Ceitlin, bealach at 187 459, then south to summit. Also
continuation to Stob Coir an Albannaich.

The descent to the south is best done by retreating for a bit back towards the west and then cutting down into the corrie below. From there you follow the small glen to its end and cross the moor dodging the boggy ground. A small stream will need to be forded to reach the track that skirts the south side of the loch and heads back to Bridge of Orchy.
