Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall Corranaich is separated from the rest of the Lawers Ridge by Coire Odhar through which an old drove road passes from Coire Odhar into Coire a' Chobhair. The easiest ascent of this mountain is from the bealach at the head of Coire Odhar up a short rocky ridge to the summit. Meall Corranaich is elongated in a N to S direction by two long ridges. The main ridge leads N then splits to give a narrow N ridge leading to Meall a' Choire Leith and larger NW ridge, with a rocky summit, which forms the S wall of Coire Gorm. There is also a long narrow S ridge offering an alternative route from the National Trust Visitor Centre with its large carpark.

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

Shame others had no visibility, i had a perfect day!! Doing quite well with the old fitness, managed to reach the summit in around an hour from the cairn. Could see to Ben Nevis and Ben Alder to the north, all clad in fresh snow. The ridge to Meall a'Choire Leath was special, great day - Munros number 29/30

Climbed this and Choire Leith in mid April. Overall a nice walk, but was surprised to be caught in zero visibility on the descent towards Choire Leith. Had to rely on existing footprints in the snow otherwise navigation would have been very difficult. Found the return to Corranaich from Choire Leith a bit of a slog in the snow, but at least I can say I have climbed it twice :-) Only downside on the day was the lack of photo opportunities due to the cloud, but still a very enjoyable day. Also a lesson learned today, never leave the sat nav at home - regardless of the weather.

Shorter walk & less ascent if done in a loop from the cairn to the north Lochan na Lairig.
