Mountain Description
Aonach Air Chrith is one of the 7 Munros on the 14km South Glen Shiel Ridge. The ridge has steep slopes to the S and is very craggy with many corries to the N. The ridge traverse follows the scalloped rims of the corries between peaks. The ridge may be climbed in two sections E and W but individual peaks are not easily accessed and do not require individual descriptions. Aonach Air Chrith is in the E section and has a long NNE ridge to A' Choich (830m), a W ridge linking to Maol Chinn-dearg and an E ridge to Druim Shionnach.
