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.
I climbed Gairich on a cold windy day. Took my winter gear but didn't need it. I took great care on the final 300m up to the summit, as the area is remote and there was no one else about, so I didn't want to risk a fall. I also wanted to get back before it got dark, although I had a head torch with me. A lovely walk.
