Description

East Ridge of Beinn a Chaorainn

A beautiful day on the East ridge with clear views of the mountains in all directions. A rather arduous approach and descent in ankle-deep snow however rewarding for a fun grade I climb and exciting views of the cornices at the top.

Area : Loch Treig to Loch Ericht (Ben Alder)

Often referred to as the Central Highlands, this area covers the mountains between Loch Treig, Loch Ericht and Loch Laggan. Access is commonly from the A86 or the Corrour Halt stop on the West Highland Railway. An impressive fourteen Munros are scattered across this area (four of which are over 1100m), and included in the mountains list are all of the peaks above 600m. Ben Alder is often thought of as one of the more remote mountains in Scotland and its vast high plateau sits in contrast to the ridge created by Beinn Bheoil. Peaks to the east of Loch Ericht are listed in the East Highlands region.
