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.
From Arnisdale village on an unseasonably calm & warm day. Not much snow but just below the east top, a band of hard old snow required crampons. Coming down, i took a circuitous route to avoid faffing with crampons again but it would have been easier just to go back the same way. A covey of 4 almost white ptarmigan on the grey rocks about 850m.
