Excellent guide. I did this route many years ago, on a May morning with sunshine and sleety showers. At the summit of An Gearanach, a Golden Eagle glided down Glen Nevis below me, just as a rainbow emerged from a snow cloud over the Ben. One of my best memories on the hills

Navigation and experience were important elements of your climb. In the old days we might use map compass and pacing, perhaps now more digital watch with preprogrammed GPX routes. Congratulations on the winter climb . JMO

I hadn't been on the bike for a while either so my bum was a wee bit nippy on that cycle out!! A good long day on the hills, though, and we managed to beat the rain by 5 minutes - it was torrential by the time I got home which made my 5am start worthwhile.

Having watched the video showing the route in good conditons, I'm not surprised we failed that time you mentioned - that final tower just disappeared up into the clag and I didn't fancy the prospect of downclimbing it, if had turned out to be yet another dead end. I'm pretty sure we were out for almost 12 hours that day and we were both absolutely beat afterwards. Still, no excuses for next time, now!

Great video as always. Would it be worthwile to hike over the Munro Top Airgiod Bheinn on the return from Carn nan Gabhar? I realise that the descend from that one is quite steep, but at least it avoids most of the boggy route through the glen. Murray from Scotland's Mountains did it, but he hiked anticlockwise, so ascended the top first. ATB Karl from Denmark
@hikescotland2360

@@hikescotland2360 Thanks a lot - good to know. Out of curiosity which Garmin are you using? I've bought the inReach mini2 recently, but it's a bit lacking in the mapping department. 😉I knew that beforehand, but my budget was a bit tight. Using the Walkhighlands app for navigating instead. I got the Garmin mainly because of the SOS function to give my family back home a bit peace of mind when hiking.
@adriankelly_edinburgh
@adriankelly_edinburgh 25 дней назад
Another person we'd spoken to on the route that day did exactly that but there's a bit more ascent to gain the top before descending to the glen.

@karlejnarch I use the Garmin GPSMap66i with Topo Great Britain v2 Pro 1:25k Maps, it comes with an Android phone app that also includes maps, mostly use the phone app rather than the actual GPS, keeping the GPS in my backpack for backup. The app only works if you have a qualifying garmin gps paired to your phone.

I just done this walk yesterday and missed the Eastern Summit due to poor visibility which I have read mixed reviews of if it’s the top or not but I’m glad your video gives me clarity about the official top of Beinn a'Chròin 942. Thanks for sharing
@justmyopiniontoday7548
@justmyopiniontoday7548 Месяц назад
Hi again, may I ask you if there is anything you may recall from your experience that might aid in my camping plans. As I study the OS map I see a small lochan marked at the bottom of the bealach between an caisteal and beinn a chroin. It's at 805m and grid ref NN383186. There seems to be a small flat area there that could take a tent if its not too stony. But from your video I also saw a lochan higher up on Beinn a chroin but possibley without as much flat land about it at 890m? A lochan is important to me as it permits me to reduce my pack weight by 2kg and also provides a sense of security. From your video the 805m one was small but if there has been a wet week or so it might well contain water? The issue with that location is that you can get a wind tunnel effect through a col - but that bealach looks quite wide and rounded mitigating that. I quite understand if you have no new comment on that location. Just asking. I would be going next week so summer conditions. Thank you. JMO.
@hikescotland2360
@hikescotland2360 Месяц назад
Hi, I think you would find a spot around 383186 show in my video at 26:48 where you could pitch a small tent, I don't think it's too rocky, it might get very wind in the wrong conditions, I'm not sure if the lochin will have much water in the summer. If it were me, I'd camp at Lochaan a'Chroin, 390182, 744m altitude, it's a 720m walk away from the path and about 125m of ascent to get back up to the path. explore.osmaps.com/route/22156584/beinn-achroin-camp-spot?lat=56.329096&lon=-4.611505&zoom=17.5438&style=Standard&type=2d

@justmyopiniontoday7548
@justmyopiniontoday7548 Месяц назад
​@hikescotland2360 I have studied carefully your proposal of the Lochaan a chroin. It offers reliable water and far better protection from the north. I had originally not considered it because of the rock outcrops showing on the 1:25000 map, but examining further I can see what appears to be a route down from the start point you suggest to the lochaan. Of course its up to me to exercise judgement and make it work. Perhaps it happens with the conditions the original proposal of the bealach is the better option. The safe and happy option will have to be judged on the climb, as emphasised by the v unstable weather forecastes this week: the MET for An Caisteal wed was 40kph, but on Thursday it was 60 gusting to 80. I will always turn back. To old for that! Thx again. JMO.

I done these in thick fog about a month ago, the boulder field on the third Munro took me by surprise. The descent looks easy in clear weather but when you can only see 20ft in front of you it’s a lot more intimidating. It feels like you’re heading towards a cliff rather than grass, very disorienting. It gives a lot of people bother even in clear weather

This is great, most detailed route description I've seen. I was on the mountain in ,1987, so distant memories. I think at the point you backtracked a bit, thigh on the ridge, we may have continued. The ascent seemed quick and wasn't too daunted crossing the hiatus, on the summit ridge. The bit that has stuck in my mind, was the descent, very challenging down scrambling facing the rock, my friend almost became cragfast, managed to talk him down, putting his boot in a foothold. Wow, what a mountain, deservedly among the harder of Munro's
@hikescotland2360
@hikescotland2360 2 месяца назад

Fine video, thanks. Brings back memories of my first ascent more than 40yrs ago. I was probably lucky that I found the easiest route onto the ridge, then slightly left up a gulley and then stick to crest or slightly left. It was the hardest scramble I had ever done, but really good. At the summit I met some lads from? a Nottingham climbing club. They persuaded me to descend the west ridge over the now fallen off gendarme and down the airy descent into the Corrie. A lot harder than the tourist route! No ropes. After that I learned to rock climb, which led to some great times. Too old now, so I say do it while you can. Don’t wait.
