Having tried these hills a few weeks ago to be met with a complete lack of visibility in low cloud / fog, I tried again yesterday and couldn't have had a better day for it - glorious blue skies and visibility as far as the eye could see!

View towards Meall a' Bruiridh - couldn't see 5 yards in front of me from this spot last week!

Col view from Meall.jpg
The col between Meall a' Bruiridh and Creise looked a lot steeper than expected!


Up Col towards Creise.jpg
It was a helluva steep climb from the col up to the Creise ridge!

Final ridge walk to the Creise summit

Top of Creise with Meall a' Bruiridh in the background - slightly depressing to think I still had to re-climb that 200m back up Meall a' Bruiridh!!

Great photos.

Annoyingly we missed out on Creise due to an attack of "couldn't be bothered" that day after a long slog through snow to M a' B...

I like your 4th photo -looks like an infinity of hills on the horizon.

How steep is that steep-looking slope up the Creise ridge?
