Looking up the north-north-east ridge to the pointed summit of Aonach Air Chrith, with A' Chioch on the left. From about 1km west of the Cluanie Inn in Glen Shiel/Glen Morriston.
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.
This long route is the east section of the South Glen Shiel Ridge. The traverse of the whole ridge is a considerable undertaking so it is described in two parts.
