Snow from the road, Difficult conditions underfoot. Planned to do the three munros starting with Sgurr Na Ciche.
High winds, and unconsolidated snow, with bog underneath not quite frozen enough.
Snowshoes helpful here and there, but due to the depth of the powdery snow over rocky terrain more of a hinderance than help as we got closer to the peak.
High winds, spindrift, a very long time to get to SNC, we decided to return along the route we came, using our tracks for help.
24km. 11 hours!! 1194m ascent.
Skies clear and cloudy intermittently, clearing as we returned to the car.
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.
