Mountain Description
|
|
|
The imposing mass of Liathach dominates Glen Torridon and Upper loch Torridon with its steep terraced sandstone slopes. Of the six peaks along the summit ridge, two have been ranked as Munros, but the whole ridge should be traversed. As the ridge is normally climbed E to W, Mullach an Rathain is near the end of the route. From Mullach an Rathain the main ridge continues W and a descent can be made towards Torridon House, but there are also ridges NE to Meall Dearg, E to Spidean a Choire Leith (the main ridge) and S curving SE enclosing a corrie from through which a descent can be made to Glen Torridon. Have no doubts this is a serious mountain.

Spidean a' Choire Leith and Mullach an Rathain
|
A classicroute. Liathach is an imposing massif, the ascent is steep and the traverse requires scrambling. If you have the head to traverse the pinnacles, then it is truly wonderful route.
