Stac na h-Iolaire, Creag nan Gall

Date walked: 18/03/2025

Time taken: 5 hours

Distance: 13.5km

Ascent: 963m

Parked at the Ciste carpark and walked up a good path on the east side of the corrie, snow cover started about 800m, but just followed footprints to near Cnap Coire na Spreidhe. Headed north to tick the 1028m deleted Munro top then a lovely walk down the ridge before climbing Stac na h-Iolaire, which has quite a spectacular south face and gave great views up Strath Nethy from the top. Then continued round to Creag nan Gall and took what looked like a flattish route along an old glacial moraine before descending to Lochan na Beinne. A path, squelchy at times, leads from here back to the car park, and luckily the reindeer were grazing right beside the path to round off a great day.
