Description

Crux day: snow drifting knee deep by the time I reached the pass. Then a desolate, moody view into the badlands. A big part of me wanted to turn around.
After much hesitation I pushed on and felt good; a tiny dot in a big landscape.
Above Maol Bhuidhe a pair of golden eagles were soaring - clearly auspicious.

Area : Glen Cannich to Glen Carron

This area covers the peaks north of Loch Mullardoch and south of the A890/A832 Strathcarron to Garve road. The fourteen Munros in the area are handily split into two ridges either side of Glen Strathfarrar and a cluster of five to the north and west of Loch Monar. Sgurr na Lapaich (1150m) and An Riabhachan (1129) are the highest peaks on the southern side while Sgurr a’ Choire Ghlais (1083m) is the tallest on the northern side. Mountains in the list are all about 900m. The area to the south of this is Glen Affric and Kintail.
