Sgurr an Lochain.
Setting out from the CP at 044,114 to embark on an arduous day to reach the snowline at approx. 850m via Druim Coire nan Eirecheanach. A quick SE climb to Maol Chinn-dearg (981m), before returning back on ourselves and continuing NW along the ridge to Sgurr Coire na Feinne (902m), Sgurr an Doire Lethain 1010m, Sgurr an Lochain 1004m and Creag nan Damh (918m). A fine ridge walk as a group of 4 peers, despite the very limited vis and increasing levels of precipitation -snow along the ridge but returning to rain from about 860m. Descended via the NE spurr of CND to CP at 995,133.
Area :
Loch Eil to Glen Shiel
The Great Glen to the east, the A87 to the north and the A830 to the south separate this area from its surroundings and enclose an area of high mountains and low glens. The highest mountain is Sgurr na Ciche (1040m) and further north the South Glen Shiel Ridge is formed by a whopping seven Munros! Also in the area is The Saddle (1010m) which is home to the classic Forcan Ridge. Peaks in the mountains list are all above 900m.
