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.
Druim Fada (744m). Turned back at 680m, just below the plateau because of snow instabilities & poor visibility. Strong NW + fresh snow the previous days. Cornices and slab build-up on south aspects.
