Description

An attempt to get round the two Loch Lochy Munros. White out heavy wet snow gave us both pause for thought. Steep angles and potential for avalanche. We decided to avoid risk and head back from near the col after practicing a few buckets/bollards.

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.
