Weather forecast was better for the Sunday this weekend, so we made this a shorter walk to get the Top we were after - just 6 left now :D We'd only done this Munro as part of the Creag Meagaidh 5 before, so this was our first time up the shoulder that goes over the South Top.

Where the track goes left, we decided to cut a corner and take a line up through the felled area

Looking back - it might have been easier to stay on that track after all :D

Past the snow line, but didn't need the micro spikes we'd carried with us

Too close to miss out the Munro - heading over there next

Missed this path on the way up so we climbed the fence further up the hill - turns out there's a big gap in it :D
