Setting off from the ski centre car park along the Windy Ridge path

 

The weather was reasonable at first with good views across Loch Morlich

 

With most of the climbing finished we had a break before ascending the final 75 metres to the summit

 

A last look back at Meall a’ Bhuachaille before entering the cloud

 

The summit plateau was enshrouded with cloud as we approached the weather station

 

 

On the summit

 

The cloud lifted for a brief spell and we managed to take a group photograph on the summit

 

Looking back to where we had been from near the ski centre car park The clod was much lower than when we set off
