Mountain Description
|
|
|
Creag Mhor is a craggy top with three prominent ridges. The N ridge to Meall Tionail (985m) offers an easy route to the summit and should be used for access when coming from Beinn Heasgarnich. The SE ridge is the normal route from the road in Glen Lyon. The third heads SW then curves SE to form a very craggy ridge that is best avoided.

Park car up hill behind kenknock at 350m contour (where pipeline disappears into hillside) - upper path easily cyclable if required. Means don't have to descend so far on return saving legs at end of the day (also less climbing at start)

Climbed from end of public road in Glen Lochay to Babour and climbed Sron nan eun to start of Ridge. Weather conditions ideal, lots of snow and ice, visibility was excellent, great views towards Ben Nevis. Returned down ridge and dropped into coire adjacent to ben Hesgearnich and then back towards road at Babour and return to Kenknock
