Mountain Description
|
|
|
Between the summit of Creag Meagaidh, Coire Ardair to the NE and Moy Corrie to the SE is a high plateau. The summit is located at the E limit of the plateau at the start of the SW ridge. This ridge, which has crags on its N and S slopes, branches to give a narrow S ridge and a broad W ridge. To the NE of the plateau, a broad ridge connects to Stob Poite Coire Ardair via a narrow col known as "The Window" (this is the main ascent route). From Puist Coire Ardair at the E limit of the plateau rises the narrow E ridge which branches SE towards the crags of Creag Tharsuinn and NE to Sron a' Choire providing an alternative ascent route.

Creag Meagaidh, Stob Poite Coire Ardair and Carn Liath [Loch Laggan]
|
Long but relatively easy route. Approach is on well maintained path, but summit of Creag Meagaidh may be difficult to locate in poor visibility. Descent path is muddy in places. Coire Ardair is beautiful, and the views from route to Carn Liath are excelle

Note from previous posting:
"easiest group of three Munro's you can do in a single outing"!
...I don't think so, especially in winter conditions, when it was a tough 7 hour day for me.

This has got to be the easiest group of three Munro's you can do in a single outing.

Having just done the three Munros on this route I'm well and truly Knackered. Went up through the corrie to the lochan, into the Window then up to Creag Meagaigh, back by Stob Poite Coire Ardair and onto Carn Liath. it was a very enjoyable walk even though it must have been the hottest day of the year, (even on the tops it must have been 20 Degrees plus). I was burnt to a cinder, but it was one of the most memorable groups of Munro's I've completed. We met Three others doing it by Carn Liath first, our time was 6 1/2 hours by doing the Corrie route first which I thought was reasonable.
