Maol Chean-dearg 24 May 2019

A cloudy breezy day to start with, but the cloud base lifted steadily and cleared the tops completely just after we started our descent. A walk up the glen to start with with the Coire Lair Munros to the east and Torridon to the west, both hidden in cloud, then a zigzag path up to the bealach and a fairly steep climb up scree slopes and boulders to the summit plateau at 3,061' just in the cloud - but we got a view of the main Torridon ridge as we descended, and the cloud lifted into blue sky for superb sunlit views of the dramatic ruggedness and sheer rockiness of the west Highlands. Munro #228.
