This area covers the peaks north of Loch Mullardoch and south of the A890/A832 Strathcarron to Garve road. The fourteen Munros in the area are handily split into two ridges either side of Glen Strathfarrar and a cluster of five to the north and west of Loch Monar. Sgurr na Lapaich (1150m) and An Riabhachan (1129) are the highest peaks on the southern side while Sgurr a’ Choire Ghlais (1083m) is the tallest on the northern side. Mountains in the list are all about 900m. The area to the south of this is Glen Affric and Kintail.
Leading a group from the Moray MC staying at Inver Cottage. From the footpath west of Loch Sgamhain we ascended icy slopes (it was -10C) in the valley, and crampons were needed. Early winter snow covered the summit. We chose to descend the NW ridge to by-pass the forzen steep slopes.
