Beinn Udlamain

Munro
Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
1011 m (3316 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

  Description
From the summit of Beinn Udlamain a ridge runs S to a broad bealach at the head of Coire Dhomhain which connects to Sgairneach Mhor (a common ascent route).

At the N limit of the summit plateau there are two ridges, a narrow rocky N ridge and a broader NE ridge curving round Fraoich-choire to connect with A' Mharconnaich at a high col.

The W slopes towards loch Ericht and the E slopes into Coire Dhomhain are steep and should be avoided. It is recommended to continue onto A' Marchonnaich if you are not returning to the head of Coire Dhomhain.

Hazards you may encounter on Beinn Udlamain include
 Steep slopes on or near ascent routes.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
 Wind usually increases with altitude.
 Visibility can change markedly with cloud level.
 River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day.
