View from Creag Leacach to Glen Maol
We waited for sunset then walked between the two tops. It was dark and misty by the time we reached Glen Maol.

Creag Leacach Summit Selfie
An here we are, finally made it to the summit of Creag Leacach, our 2nd Munro today. The effort has definitely earned us some sandwiches, so it's time to stop and take in the views, with Glas Maol visible in the background. Glas Maol (meaning the grey green hill) is my 18th Munro and stands at a height of 1068 meters (3504 feet). Creag Leacach (meaning 'the slabby crag') is my 19th and stands at 987 meters (3238 feet).

Windswept on Creag Leacach
A view of Glas Maol from the summit of Creag Leacach, near the Cairnwell Pass in the Cairngorms. The wind was so strong I had trouble standing still let alone taking a photo (even on an iPhone).
