Description

From Kintail, 092 121 straight up on to the ridge of A'Chralaig then followed the watershed along to Mullach Fraoch-choire and beyond to 858m. Snow above 750m and harder neve above 900m. From the last top we took a direct line to the camban bothy.
From the bothy the next day we headed straight up the north side of Ciste Dhubh before following the ridge along to 877m. From here we took a straight line back to the stalkers path then followed this south to the car.

Area : Glen Affric and Kintail

South of Loch Mullardoch you will find the Glen Affric and Kintail area whose southern boundary is the A87 road to Inverness. The Five Sisters of Kintail, Beinn Fhada, Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan and Carn Eighe are just some of the impressive peaks in this area, and all have their own unique selling points such as remoteness, size, steepness or height. As a result, peaks in the list are all over 900m.
