The Meall a 'Choire Lèith is a 926 meter high mountain in Scotland . Its Gaelic name means mountain of the gray kars . Classified as Munro , the mountain is the north-westerly peak of the Perthshire mountain range on the north bank of Loch Tay , the highest mountain of which is Ben Lawers to the south-east . A total of seven peaks of the mountain range are classified as Munro.
Along with its southern neighbor, the Meall Corranaich of Meall a 'lies Choire Leith northwest offset some of the other peaks of Ben Lawers-group, separated by the north towards Glen Lyon ongoing Coire a' Chobhair . The Meall a 'Choire Lèith is connected to the Meall Corranaich via a 770 meter high flat saddle. Like almost all Munros around the Ben Lawers, the Meall a 'Choire Lèith has a wide, gently sloping summit plateau, which ends in almost all directions with wide grassy slopes. Only to the north does the mountain have a rocky ridge that ends in Sron Eich , a rocky pre-peak rising steeply above Glen Lyon.
Meall a 'Choire Lèith is usually climbed by Munro excavators together with its southern neighbor. From Meall Corranaich the path leads over the saddle between the two peaks from the south to the highest point. A direct approach begins on the narrow road connecting Loch Tay and Glen Lyon, at the northern end of the Lochan na Lairige reservoir to the west, and leads over the west side to the summit.
