Hi Paul.



I went over that bealach in 2007 in poor weather and it was fine. There's a path all the way up to the bealach. The descent to Eas a' Choire Dhuibhe is a muddy/grassy glissade at times, but okay. You'll enjoy the never-ending mountainous tussock field afterwards... And to add even more fun, I see they've now planted forestry in this tussock nightmare!

:smiley:

The Robbers Waterfall on the way up to the bealach is quite wonderful and well worth a look. My take on it can be found with the following link:

Thanks Alan! Is that picture a random shot, or is it the actual bealach? I imagine using my FWA in worse circumstances than shown in the picture, but on the map this route looks quite safe whatever the conditions with no scope for navigation errors. Just a little steep down in parts, but not craggy.

Hi Paul.

It's the actual bealach looking back to the way I had come.

In crap weather the wind's likely to come from behind you walking up the path to the bealach (assuming all crappy weather comes from the west) and you're on a path. You do have the Allt nam Meirleach to cross to get to the path up the Allt Mheuran, but there are a couple of flattish sections where you can get across OK even in spate, I would have thought.

Keep to the left on the way down to the Eas a' Choire Dhuibh as there are no crags on that side of the Coire.

Would echo Alan's comments about the descent from the bealach, tussocky and character forming. The plantation shown is surrounded by a deer fence which you can either work your way E and S around or go through it where the allt cuts through. Once you've made the main Glen Kinglass track I think there is a gate in the fence even though I chose to climb it late in the day - sense of humour failure followed! Camping at Loch Dochard is to be recommended.
