Mountain Description
|
|
|
Creise lies on a long ridge that runs from Clach Leathad in the S to Sron na Creise in the N. The main ridge has steep slopes and many craggy regions which necessitate scrambling. Creise can be accessed from Meall a Bhuiridh to which it is connected by a col S of the summit. The ascent to the summit from the col is steep and can be difficult in snow. To the N of Creise is Stob a Ghlais Choire (996m) from where ridges lead NE, N to Sron na Creise, and NW. An ascent of Sron na Creise is possible but is a steep scramble in places. The NE ridge of Stob a Ghlais Choire can be ascended from Cam Ghleann and this is easier than Sron na Creise but still a scramble.
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Creise include
|
| Steep slopes on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags near summit. |
|
| Scrambling (minor), easy hand and footholds. |
|
|
| |
|
General Considerations
|
| Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent. |
|
| Wind usually increases with altitude. |
|
| Visibility can change markedly with cloud level. |
|
| River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. |

Meall a' Bhuiridh and Creise
|
The ascent of Meall a'Bhuiridh is easy, but the route onward to Creise is more difficult as there are crags to be negotiated, and scrambling skills are needed.

Followed Cameron Mcneish route from blackrock cottage. Even after the heavy rainfall, it was not terribly marshy! The snow in Stob a Ghlais Choire was also really compact which made for a great climb. Good ridge walk. Took in Clach Leathad - well worth it for the views. The ridge connecting Criese with Meall a'Bhuiridh is marked by two cairns - invaluable when the cloud is down. Was a striking site to turn a corner and be hit by the large crowds and noise pollution of the chair lift etc. (not what one wants when alone in the hills) but twas great fun running down the ski slopes!

Ascending Creise via its north ridge from Glen Etive:
You can avoid the grade 3 scrambling by turning all the rock steps and towers (difficulties) on the right until at the top of the narrow stone shoot; then turn the final tower on the left by an easy, but airy grassy traverse.
This 'walk' is steep and intimidating and I'd really not recommend descending it, even in good conditions. I'd grade it as a long, loose, steep, intimidating grade 1 scramble (quite atmospheric though!). Worthwhile for the 3+ mile ridge walk continuation back to Glen Etive :-)
