Thanks guys.

This one could be a bit tricky as the photo doesn't show the whole thing very well:

Sorry this is way too difficult, even for compleatists :roll:

Here are a couple more photos of the corrie:

Another clue: This is part of a Munro, which is sometimes climbed as part of a huge multi-Munro epic, although most people seem to avoid this side of the mountain and miss out the corrie entirely.

Glas-Choire, N side of Sgurr a' Bhealaich Dheirg? Has a feel of Kintail about it.

No, but you're in the right region. This is part of a remote, unfrequented Munro.

Close enough Kaye. It's actually Coire na Dheiragen Bheag, the next one along. I walked along this after descending from Beinn Fhionnlaidh and climbing up the other side to reach Mullach na Dheiragain. Very few people are daft enough to do anything similar, so these are somewhat exclusive views :lol:

Over to you.

Oh no - now I have to find one to post.
I don't think I consciously pay that much attention to the worries....
:D
How about this wintry number?

Thanks kaye.cantlay! Looks like a good route.

On a windy day - what is the corrie down on the right?

clue - I am standing on a Munro. Parts of other Munros are visible, but no Munro summits.

Not quite in the picture is a large loch off to the left.
