Weather forecast promissing for the day, after some clouds early morning, then suppose to be clear sky and good visibility...watching the clouds mooving over and then away finally, I started my walk in hope to see all the great mountains around from top of Beinn a'Bheithir...

Beinn a'Bheithir from distance. Sgorr Dhearg on the left and Sgorr Dhonuill on the right

The Dragon's Tooth is visible almost all the walking time - now from the forest path

Love the path via Forest...and the sky looks clear...promissing
:clap: 8) :D

I left the path and started climb this steepy slope straight up as shortcut
:roll: :D
DSCF8199.JPG
Almost on top of Sgorr Dhearg - looking at Sgorr Dhonuill opposite

I walked a little down on the ridge to get better view of the summit from this angle
:wink:

Time to go to Sgorr Dhonuill...( self timer shot )
:lol: :wink:
DSCF8248.JPG
Another view from the summit, but confused about the visibility...sunny clear sky and Loch Leven with Pap of Glencoe is almost invisible...the view suppose to be !!!
:? :( :roll:
DSCF8257.JPG
The view is clear for short distance only...Descending Sgorr Dhearg towards ascent of Sgorr Dhonuill
DSCF8260.JPG
Looking at the valley, there is the start point - behind the Forest at South Ballachulish
DSCF8268.JPG
In the middle between Sgorr Dhearg and Sgorr Dhonuil, looking back at Sgorr Dhearg...there is the usual path on the left over the edge, I will use the way for descending back to the car park after Sgorr Dhonuil

The ridge to the Dragon's Tooth

Near the summit of Sgorr Dhonuil

Looking back...The Dragon's Tooth ridge and Sgorr Dhearg

On the Summit - posing for the self timer
:lol:

After short walk to the West side over the summit
DSCF8336.JPG
Looking over the Glen towards South ballachulish...where is the view which suppose to be...???
:( :? :roll:
DSCF8354.JPG
Sgorr Dhearg...atleast
DSCF8360.JPG
Looking over the Dragon's Tooth
DSCF8365.JPG
...and the Dragon's Tooth from the bottom, on my way back to the car park
DSCF8384.JPG
Nice path outside the Forest...
DSCF8389.JPG
Looking back once again...everything looks so clear, but why not views to the distance...( Glencoe, Mamores and Ben Nevis...I missed the view
8) :? :)

Video from both summits: 8) :wink:

Ah, the vagaries of the weather up here - clag one minute, haze the next :roll:
It's a nice walk and looks like it cleared quite a bit of the time :thumbup:
Can remember my camera failed early on on this walk possibly due to the cold affecting the batteries and/or condensation inside it - had to resort to using a rather basic camera on my phone :( - cheers :)

Pity about the haze, two nice hills with cracking views on a clear day. Some fancy photography there Petr :wink: :)

We went up a Sgorr Dhearg from Ballachulish just after the school coming down the way you went up and was a lot dryer that way compared to the bog on the downward run. The Pap a bit clearer when we were there on 1st Sept 2020. good review and great video.
