Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Fhada is a massive and complex mountain. The summit lies at the junction the rocky NE ridge with the broad summit plateau, the "Plaide Mor". From the summit plateau a narrow ridge curves E to Sgurr a' Dubh Doire (962m) then NE to another top (825m) from where branches run NW and ENE. This ENE ridge slopes down to the head of Glen Affric where a number of paths converge. From N of the summit plateau a rocky ridge leads to Meall a' Bhealaich overlooking Beallach an Sgairne. A descent on the W slope of this ridge (minor scrambling) leads to a path by Allt Coire an Sgairne. W of the summit plateau, there is a short rocky N ridge and a curving NW ridge leading to Meall an Fuarain Mhoir (891m) then N to Sgurr a' Choire Ghairbh - this is a route for scramblers.

Difficult route which requires a head for exposure and scrambling skills. To avoid scramble ascend by descent route.

The scrambling is, I have to say, a little easier than the route description suggests. There's really only one awkward descent, of about 20 feet, which is not exposed. Don't be put off, therefore - the Sgurr a' Choire Ghairbh ridge is a superb way up or down.
