These two Munros form the northeastern part the Black Mount range, rising above the head of Glen Etive opposite the better known Buachaille Etive Mòr . This route ascends via the White Corries ski slopes. Meall a'Bhùiridh appears rather undistinguished seen from Rannoch Moor but its elegant west ridge is revealed from Creise, itself the high point of a dramatic ridge running from Sròn na Creise in the north through Clach Leathad to Sròn nam Forsair.

Terrain

A straightforward Munro round in good conditions; there is some boggy ground. Rocky ground and boulderfields on the uppermost slopes of Meall a'Bhùiridh, and a steep rocky climb to the ridge of Creise.

Public Transport

Citylink bus from Glasgow/Fort William.

Start

Glencoe Mountain Ski Centre ski centre car park at White Corries. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
