Creag Pitridh, Geal Charn and Beinn a'Chlachair 30 July 2016

A cloudier day with the base at about 700m, little rain but no breaks either. A long walk in from the S side of A86, good paths, up to the bealach then easy slopes to the first and lowest Munro of the day, Creag Pitridh at 3,031'. A fairly short traverse in the mist took us to the pointed summit of Geal Charn, 3,442'. Then across the bealach and a bouldery steep ascent onto the ridge of Beinn a'Clachair, the cairn and summit being at the far end of the ridge at 3,569'. Cutting down the Coire slopes we regained the path for an hour walkout back to the road. Cold in the wind and cloud, but some shafts of sun on the path below. Munro total 185, 97 to go!
