Mountain Description
|
|
|
Stob Poite Coire Ardair is seperated from Creag Meaghaidh by a steep sided col, named "The Window". From here easy slopes rise NE following the rim of the crags on its S face to the summit. The summit plateau continues ENE to to a second top, 1051m, from where a broad ridge runs NNW down to Coire Bhanain and a narrower ridge continues NNE to Sron garbh Coire. The slopes into Coire Ardair are steep and rocky and should be avoided, particularly in snowy conditions. Normal approach routes are via The Window and on the ridge from Carn Liath to the ENE.

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

Coming from Carn Liath this hill requires a long high-level walk on a broad grassy ridge. The peak has no remarkable features compared to that of its neighbour Creag Meagaidh. The summit cairn is situated at an old fence post. The continuation to Creag Meagaidh is a simple ascent past 'The Window' and then a crossing of the broad summit plateau. The second peak of a great horseshoe.
