3 Nov - An excellent day with Steven Fallon and a group of 12 clients on the 4 Strathfarrar munros. The weather was excellent, with a covering of powdery snow, and superb clear views in low winter sunlight.
We traversed the ridge west to east, climbing up from the private road to reach the summit of Sgurr Fhuar-thuill (3,441'), then on via a fairly steep section of ridge to Sgurr a'Choire Ghlais, the highest peak of the day at 3,553' and the only one where the clouds rolled in while at the summit - throughout the day brief snow showers moved through from the south with very clear views in between.
We then descended steeply to the northeast and then climbed the easier slopes of Carn nan Ghobhar (3,255') which gave spectacular views of the peaks to the northwest, from the Cuillin of Skye round to Fisherfield and An Teallach. The last munro of the day was Sgurr na Ruaidhe (3,258') reached via fairly easy slopes, from where we descended and reached the road at dusk. A memorable day particularly the dramatic views in sunlight/patchy cloud and snow. Munro total now 93.
