Beinn Eighe in the clouds
Route: Beinn Eighe (western summits)
Munros: Ruadh-stac Mòr (Beinn Eighe), Spidean Coire nan Clach (Beinn Eighe)
Date walked: 16/06/2015
Time taken: 7 hours
Distance: 16.9km
Ascent: 1310m
We climbed Alligin and Liathach in good weather, but now it has turned to Scottish.
When we leave for Beinn Eighe the summits are already in the clouds.
After a steep climb we reach Spidean Coire nan Clach.
No time to enjoy the scenery, we continue on the ridge.
It needs some navigation in the mist to find the way to Ruadh-stac Mor.
In the descend it starts raining. We have some view on the Triple Buttress, but meanwhile we are triple wet.
But the rain doesn't last forever and we can enjoy some views.
We even have some view on Loch Torridon in the distance.
And in sight of the finish we are nearly dry.
