Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall a' Choire Leith is an uncomplicated mountain with a single ridge running N where it terminates in rocky buttress of Sron Eich. S of the summit a col between Coire Liath and Coire Gorm leads to Meal Corrranaich. The slopes are moderate and ascents are possible from Glen Lyon on track by Allt a' Chobhair, or from the road to the SW near Meall nan Eun (635m) across boggy ground, but by far the most usual ascent is from Meall Corranaich

An easy day. The approach is on paths and once at altitude the terrain is short grass or stones.

An easy day including, Meall Corranaich. A good way to bag 2 Munros without too much trouble.

Having started from the Ben Lawers NTS Visitor Centre car park NN608379, the return route from Meall a' Coire Leith is normally documented as a reversal of the outward one. However, the thought of a re-ascent of Meall Corranaich, followed by the steep descent off its southern side may be a daunting prospect for some. Instead, leave the summit of Meall a’ Coire Leith keeping to the east to regain the path back down to the col above Coire Liath from where several paths fan out towards Meall Corranaich. Then follow the uppermost – left - of these as it passes as close to the top of the crags as is safe to do so until reaching the 900m/2953 feet contour then pass through a very short section of the crags. Taking care to avoid a slip or fall, follow the gentle descent southwards across the east slope of the ridge, crossing near the head of a small stream - where the path becomes somewhat intermittent – to end on the 880m/2887 feet bealach at the head of Coire Odhar (GR: NN621408). It is pleasant stroll downhill on the old drove road from here back to the start.
