Mountain Description
Beinn an Dothaidh has a curved summit plateau with three tops the centre top being the summit. From the summit plateau, a ridge run S to the col above Coire an Dothaidh, which connects to Beinn Dorain and is the usual ascent route from Bridge of Orchy. There is a W ridge which curves N, and offers a possible ascent route from Achallader, and a SW ridge which separates Coire Daingean from Coire a Ghabhlach. The col on this ridge connects Beinn an Dothaidh to the S ridge Beinn Achalader. This col not only gives routes between these two mountains but gives possible access to Beinn Manach to the E.

Climbed after Beinn Dorain, and lost the path once the mud started. Headed for the peak on the right - which turned out to be the South top. Thankfully the cloud had cleared and the path to the summit was obvious. Gave the West top a miss and headed back down. The descent from the col was VERY tricky, but did not spoil a fine day out.
