Garbh Bheinn (Ardgour)

I managed to get some sleep after my summit camp on Beinn Bheag (report here https://grahammadness.blogspot.com/2021/09/sgurr-mhic-eacharna-beinn-bheag.html) and the tent was packed up with breakfast in my belly by 0630. The cloud was just beginning to break and my objective for the day looked me right in the face. Granite slabs dropped down most of this impressive mountain - one for summer for sure.

I made my way down to the lochain below Garbh Bheinn and looked up at its steep climb - I had a climb of about 1100 feet ahead of me but I would just take my time as a slip here would be problematic. The climb eventually wound its way into a Coire and I followed the route to the summit but not before I stopped and took a photo back to Beinn Bheag, which paled into comparison beside this brute of a hill.

The summit view was obscured by clag so I just made my way down the long shoulder of the Corbett until I got back to the road. Only 7.5km of a walk out from camp but it took my 3 hours which highlights how tough the terrain was. All that remained was the short ferry trip back over and the drive home. I felt very relaxed and recharged. This was my 125th Corbett - tough to beat this experience.
