Ready to climb up, shortly after start from Glencoe Ski Centre

Looking back down to the Mountain Ski Centre carpark. The path is along the ski lift.

Blue sky...wide view. Buachaille Etive Mor in the left, Ben Nevis in the background

First ascent done, over this plateau now to climb Meall a'Bhuiridh. Some boggy places here, but fortunately frozen. Creise is visible ahead.

Rannoch Moor from top

Detail of Frost...

Ben Nevis zoomed with the line of C.M.D. arete and nice peak of Carn Mor Dearg

The Rannoch Moor again

On the summit of Meall a'Bhuiridh

After short time on the summit, I met Ricky and his dog Solo. He is also hillwalker and member of WH as I found out later. We decided to continue together on the walk to Creise.

Rannoch Moor and the Black Mount Hills

Meall a'Bhuiridh - nice pyramid shape from the Creise edge

Ještě dvě dobré hory s nádhernými pohledy, Petře!

It's nice to see that you met Ricky and Solo, and that they got to those summits this time. Did Ricky tell you about his attempt on these hills in August with two companions, when severe weather caused them to turn back? Those two other walkers were my friend Jimmy and me.

Looks like a great day. Planning these two along with the Black Mount pair in a Clachlet Traverse next month!

Smashing photos. I happened to be up the Buachaille Etive Beag the same day. It was indeed a great one weatherwise but a bit icy on the path at times.
A better route up Creise is up Sron na Creise and come down from Meall a' Bhuiridh to the ski centre. I find going up and down from the ski centre a bit depressing. - But I've only done it when no snow was around.

Thank you
