Debated whether to turn back 400 yards from the summit because of the wind!

18/6/2006 Climbed Beinn a Chlachair, Geal Charn and Creag Pitridh as a set. Camped overnight at Lochan na h_Earba (wonderful little beach - great camping spot). Good day but low cloud almost spoilt view once or twice.

Climbed yesterday(26/06/05) in conjunction with Geal Charn & Creag Pitridh, on a beautiful summers day. Not technically difficult or too strenuous, just a solid 8hrs! Fantastic 360' views - an excellent day.
