MEALL BHUIRIDH & SRON na CREISE - ROUTE DESCRIPTION:


Gazing across at Creise and Meall a‘ Bhuiridh from the Black Corries on the edge of Rannoch Moor, you’ll see one of the finest mountain panoramas in Scotland, together with the deep defile of Glen Etive and the familiar shape of Buachaille Etive Mor. Creise itself, at 3609ft/1100m, is a steep-sided hill that offers superlative scrambling up the steep north nose of Sron na Creise. The rocky ribs that spill down eastwards into the Cam Gleann provide an easier way to the top, although there is good scrambling here too.
This is the route to the summit ridge starting at Blackrock Cottage, the Scottish Ladies Climbing Club hut on the road that leads to the White Corries ski area. Cross the boggy heather moorland around the north slopes of Creag Dhubh to the mouth of the Cam Ghleann to reach the rocky slopes of Sron na Creise. Contour west to avoid the rocky difficulties to enjoy easy scrambling up the steep, rocky ribs that spill down from Stob a’ Ghlais Choire, the start of a long and scenic ridge that eventually terminates at Stob Ghabhar in the south.
Less than a kilometre from Stob a‘ Ghlais Choire lies the summit of
Creise, beyond which the flat top of Mam Coire Easain gives way to a stony rib which descends to a high bealach which, in turn, leads to Meall a’ Bhuiridh. lt’s then an easy climb to the summit of Meall a’ Bhuiridh and a straightforward descent to Blackrock Cottage by way of the ski grounds.

Route:
Start and finish at
Blackrock Cottage off the A82 (GR: NN268531).
Cross heather moorland to the mouth of the Cam Ghleann to gain the rocky slopes of Sron na Creise.
Contour west to avoid rocky difficulties and ascend steep slabs to Slob a‘ Ghlais Choire, the start of the main ridge.
Follow the corrie rim round to a curved crest that rises to
Creise.
Follow the ridge towards the flat top of Mam Coire Easain.
A stony rib offers a way of escape from the ridge towards a bealach at the foot of Meall a’ Bhuiridh.
Climb to the summit of Meall a‘ Bhuiridh, then descend back to
Blackrock Cottage by way of the ski area
