                                                                                                                                                                                                                      What the day includes -
Meeting at the Steall Falls car park at the end of Glen Nevis we will make our way in towards Steall Falls and continue around the Glen until we reach the Steall ruins.
From here we branch off the main path and start to ascend the grassy slopes where it can be boggy in section. The views back across the glen and onto the Mamores opens out and rewards the hard work.
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           As we gain height we have some minor tops to ascend where the terrain starts to become rocky underfoot. A final ascent sees us reach our first summit of the day , Aonach Beag. The views from here over to Ben Nevis are pretty spectacular being on a range of some of the greater summits.
After a well deserved break we will push on and descend down the rocky terrain and gain the vast ridge line of Aonach Mor, our second Munro of the day. Retracing our steps from the summit we will descend down and cut off route picking up an eroded and rough path down to the bealach between Aonach Mor & Carn Mor Dearg.
                                                                                                                                                                                             Descending back down to steall ruins and pick up the path back down the Glen and returning to steall falls car park.
