Two Munro's and a lovely ridge walk back to (un) civilisation

Final day on Jim's 4 day winter skills course and what a stunning day! We emerged from our luxurious snow hole into still air, blue skies and a full moon. Within no time we were cramponing up neve and on the summit of Creag Meagaidh by early morning. Fab views all around and not a breath of wind. We headed back to our snow hole and collected the bivvy gear and so onto the Munro summits of Stob Puist Coire Ardair and Carn Liath. This long ridge gives fantastic views back to The Post Face of Creag Meagaidh. It was wall to wall blues skies and sunshine right through the day. What a way to end Jim's 4 day course. He had such a variety of snow and weather conditions since Tuesday. Mild weather, high winds, soft snow, clear skies, excellent neve, sunshine and living inside a snow hole. All the magic of what the Scottish winter mountains has to offer. For three of the days we saw no one on the hills.
