Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr an Lochain is one of the 7 Munros on the 14km South Glen Sheil Ridge. The ridge has steep slopes to the S and is very craggy with many corries to the N. The traverse of the ridge 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. Sgurr an Lochain in the W section is linked to Sgurr an Doire Leathain to the SE and Creag nan Damh to the NW.

If you're not tackling the whole ridge and are planning to use the bridge at the foot of Druim a Choire Reidh to access Sgurr an Lochain, it's useful to know that said bridge has long since disintegrated. A rather fetching (and thin) old tree trunk is now in its place.

The view to Sgurr Beag and Creag nan Damh from this munro was a particular highlight of walking the south glenshiel ridge.

Climbed this mountain as part of day walk along the South Glen Shiel ridge. The walk is excellent and views over Knoydart to the south and the north Cluanie ridge are well worth waiting for a fine day. Out of the 7 Munros this is my favourite especially when viewed from Sgurr an Doire Leathain.
