Carn Laith, Stob Poite Coire Ardair and Creag Meagaidh

Mountains beyond mountains

Excellent path out of the carpark at Aberarder, and away from the midgies

Looking a bit less clear up ahead.

Steep climb up after losing the path

The corrie below Creag Meagaidh, hill still a bit cloudy

This is the life. Loch Laggan glistening behind us as we scale Carn Liath.

At last we can just see the "window" between Creag Meagaidh and Stob Poite Coire Ardair over there on the right.  That's where we're headed after Carn Laith.

The top of Carn Laith.  Tops of Creag Meagaidh and Stob Poite Coire Ardair still in the clouds, but what a day.

Around the second top on the ridge, looking back to Carn Laith on the left, and Loch Laggan below.

Deceptively long way to the top of Stob Poite Coire Ardair.

Lochain a'Choire at the foot of Creag Meagaidh

Finally, the top of Stob Poite Coire Ardair, looking back down the ridge to the dummy cairn, and Carn Laith off in the distance.

And to the South West, Creag Meagaidh

The "window", not so exciting when you see it up close.

Now that is a ridge.  Stob Poite Coire Ardair on the left, and Carn Laith away over there.

Nearly there.

And the real top of Creag Meagaidh

Think that is Loch Ghuilbinn, which makes the hills in the clouds Beinn Eibhinn etc. but am not too sure.

The start of Loch Treig, with Stob a' Choire Mheadhoin and Stob Coire Easian on the right and StobCoireSgriodian on the left.

Stob a'Choire Mheadhoin finally out of the cloud.

Another purple patch

Another three down, only 94 for Mark now!
