Its a hard steep slog from any other direction. blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-47073838173282942752013-05-15T00:36:06.220+01:002013-05-15T00:36:06.220+01:00That was very early on in my Munroing career too. ...That was very early on in my Munroing career too. Lovely hill. Don't think we quite did the boring route you mention most people doing - think we came back down that. It was exceedingly misty when we did it. I remember seeing buttress shapes in the mist and we definitely passed the Spearhead Buttress on the way up via that rocky gully.<br /><br />I'm hoping to explore more around the A' Chrois area so I'll have a look to see if I can see some of the great views in your photos - like that superb waterfall.<br /><br />The route we took was to just about the top of the normal zig-zags on the way to the Narnain boulders then we just headed up the side more or less to a crag on the shoulder - something like Creag am Fhithich or suchlike? (my map's buried somewhere). Then we turned hard left and headed up a little easy gully in a crag and onwards into the mist along the craggy ridge. <br /><br />On the way back down we followed an old pipeline route or something straight down to the road.<br /><br />I hate to see the old routes disappear too :-(Carolhttp://www.mountaincowardadventures.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-47576472213061239712013-05-10T16:28:41.020+01:002013-05-10T16:28:41.020+01:00Hello Craig.
Not told anyone for 40 years about it...Hello Craig.<br />Not told anyone for 40 years about it but this time I noticed it was getting very overgrown and hard to find with any trace of a path missing in places. Its all about trying to maintain a balance with this post. What's in vogue currently seems to play a part. Already lost two fabulous walking paths around the Lochgoilhead area as they are never used nowadays and are totally overgrown as new purpose built mountain bike paths have replaced them over the last fifteen years.<br />Also heard recently that Craigmore Crag near Carbeth Inn is rarely used these days as a rock climbing venue which is a tragedy of the highest order. Craigmore Corner HVS is a classic of its kind and the whole cliff has starred high quality routes on it. A run of wet summers or just too many indoor walls to blame? My generation were never away from the place.<br />Moan, moan, moan...In my day...:)blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-12007721199610541412013-05-06T10:24:17.549+01:002013-05-06T10:24:17.549+01:00One of my favourites - and my preferred route too!...One of my favourites - and my preferred route too!
