An estimate of the time taken based on a derivation of Naismiths rules. Our calculation is based on the horizontal and ascent components of a climb, we do not make a reduction for descent.
Registered users can customise these walking times by specifying their own walking and ascending speeds. They can also add a fixed time period for stoppages.

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.

I did this slightly differently as I took the NE ridge up onto the ridge just North of the summit. Still good scrambling to be had but not as exposed as Sron na Creise itself. The walk to Meall a'Bhuridh is easy once you've negotiated the steep descent onto the connecting ridge. The descent from the summit involves coming down through the not very attractive ski paraphanalia

I wouldn't tackle it by this route, unless in winter - The much better route is up Sron na Creise, along the ridge, down to the bealach and then summit Meall a'Bhuiridh, descending to the ski car park.
The scrambling is quite loose and steep, but not really difficult. I took the chicken route on the last 20m or so, as there is a particularly steep step and it was very wet, otherwise if a vertigo-suffering bagger like me could manage it, most ought to be able to.
