Description

Slioch North West Buttress route, as described in SMC Guidebook "Highland Scrambles North". About 10 hours car to car - (followed by drive home to Edinburgh!). Led my wife Marion. Long walk-in from Kinlochewe. Steep scrambling but not too technical (Grade 2 or 3 given in Guidebook).

Area : Loch Maree to Loch Broom and The Fannaichs

This area contains four main sub-regions: An Teallach, The Fannaichs, Kinlochewe & Letterewe. The highest Munro is Sgurr Mor, part of The Fannaichs range, at a height of 1110m. The impressive Slioch (981m), although not the tallest, is described by the SMC Munros Guide as being ‘one of the great sights of the Northern Highlands’ and well worth a visit. This area sits to the north of the A832 and is almost completely devoid of human habitation.
