Mountain Description
|
|
|
Maoile Lunndaidh is a remote and isloated peak. It is a large and complex mountain with two peaks (Maoile Lunndaidh and Carn nam Fiaclan) separated by a narrow ridge between two corries, Fuar-tholl Mor to the NW and Toll a' Choin to the SE. The only feasable access without camping is from Gleann Fhiodhaig to the N. The normal ascent routes, are the NNW ridge of Maoile Lunndaidh keeping E of the crags overlooking Gleann Fhiodhaig, or the NW ridge of Carn nam Fiaclan (996m) from the path by An Crom-allt. It is also possible to follow this path higher and ascend the W ridge of Carn nam Fiaclan.

Long route, but not difficult. Unbriged crossing of river required, which will be more difficult in wet weather.

9th June 2009. From Craig we left the track at the watershed, rounded the lower slopes of Sron nan Frianich, crossed An Crom-allt high up and ascended the west ridge of Carn nam
Fiaclan. For variety we returned by Fuar-tholl Beag, just beyond Carn nam Fiaclan: not a good choice. There are numerous slabs of rock which are not shown on the OS map; easier grass is found by keeping to the east of this corrie.

Oh dear, what a drag (from the north). Tedium only relieved by repeating obscenties, timed with paces, into the easterly gale - and playing in a couple of waterfalls lower down. This hill should be twinned with Ben Chonzie. Nice view from the top, however, and you could set up a pitch and putt on the summit plateau. Maybe from Monar Lodge next time - if there is one. Storer favours that way. Conclusion: this hill is for keen (daft) baggers only.

Recommend Loch monar approach = 7.25 hrs for our party of 5, leave car at dam takes 1.5 hrs alongside loch to main bridge , superb route around corrie rim and huge cairn on plateau, good stalking path into corrie, with bridges over main water courses.
