Ben Lui + Bienn a' Chleibh
Posted: Thu Mar 07, 2019 11:13 am
Summary:
Good conditions - freezing but light winds so wind chill not bad, sunshine for the morning. River crossing just doable with poles and gaiters after some investigation for most suitable crossing point. Under rail bridge very low. Further tricky burn crossing further up, slippery rock. Then forestry tracks/roads before cutting up super-muddy corridor in pines. Then simple but unrelenting ascent to ridge. Visibility excellent, views to Cruachan range and south superb. Front moved in for descent to Beinn a'Chleibh, but still light winds and good views. Simple descent into corrie and car park across River Lochy. No-one met all day.
