Approach
Coire Leis is the basin at the head of the Allt a'Mhuilinn Glen. about 1 hour from the C.I.C. hut. From the hut follow the right bank of the burn until opposite the lowest rocks of the North East Buttress, traverse up the right hand side of the Corrie beneath the east face. The face is Alpine in character and is often heavily iced.
to reach the Observatory Gully take a direct approach to the First Platform of N.E. buttress from the west. To the right of the slabby rocks of the nose leading to the First Platform is an obvious shallow gully fault.
