Description

Beinn Fhada via Sgurr a' Choire Ghairbh ridge & Hunter's Gap (I). Awesome outing after the initial slog up to 700m. Nice and wintery, fun ridge traverse before open plateau in white-out conditions. Excellent Stalker's path for the descent. White out conditions on the plateau to the summit of Fhada, lots of bearing and contour work, very satisfying.

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.
