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.
Superb solo day out. Ascent of the Saddle via the Forcan ridge. Crampons on just after Meallan Odhar. Great fun along the ridge. Abseil down into the col. Continued on to Sgurr na Sgine and dropped down onto Faochag.
