The last day of our Easter trip and we headed for Glen Etive to finish off the two we had not completed on our last visit to the glen a few years earlier. We followed the normal route on by now tired legs, but at least the weather had improved. From Beinn Chaorach it was an easy climb to Stob Coire' an Albannaich from where we were granted the best views of the trip.

(Doesn't do justice to the views)

The descent towards Meall Tarsuinn was fairly steep, and we rested at the bealach for lunch in a fantastic setting. Our final munro of the long weekend was almost an anti climax with a little over 100 metres of climb and a fairly mundane summit.

At least the descent was interesting and then all that was left was a long walk back to the car in bright sunshine and then head back south to plan our next trip.
