Garbh Bheinn
Posted: Sun Mar 23, 2014 5:13 pm
Completed by. Dave, Julie, Wilson and Jake.
Date. Sat 21st March 2014
Weather. Winter conditions.
Time. 4 hours
Distance. 6.1km
Ascent. 840m
Hills completed
Garbh Bheinn Corbett near Kinlochleven.
We climbed the Corbett Mam Na Gualainn on the North side of Loch Leven the day before. And from this summit top we could see that the snow line was just above the 700m mark on Garbh Bheinn.
With snow forecast the following day we fully expected the snow line to be well down.
Forecast was spot-on, we ended up walking in full winter conditions from 450m onwards, by the time we got back to the car the snow was falling heavily at ground level.
Really enjoyable day was had.
