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.

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).

Beinn Fhionnlaidh which overlooks Loch Mullardoch, is at the N end of a crescent shaped ridge of mountains enclosing Gleann a' Choilich. There are no direct access routes to this mountain consequently it is best climbed with Carn Eighe and Mam Sodhail. The summit is a slightly elongated cone, which on its S face, links to Carn Eighe at Bealach Beag above Coire Lochain.

Im not aware of an easy way to reach this peak. I climbed it as the 3rd peak of the day after Sodhail and Eighe, returning over Sodhail and continuing along to its top Sgurr na Lapaich before dropping back down to Loch Affric. Taking a bike to Sgurr na Lapaich will definitely help on the return as you will cover the distance in about 10 - 15 mins because it is nearly all down hill. The effort needed to reach this hill is very worthwhile for the wonderful views and sense of remoteness.

Need mental stamina for this - out on a limb on a fairly strenuous day around the highest mountains north of the Great Glen. Ended up coming down into Glen Affric in the dark
