Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr Mor is a remote and isolated mountain on a ridge on the N side of Glen Kingie with steep S slopes and craggy N slopes. It can be approached from Sgurr nan Coireachan to the SW by following the ridge from An Eag or by ascending the col between An eag and Sgurr Bheag, from Glen Kingie, to join a path leading to the summit. An ascent can also be made from Glen Kingie N to the col at the head of Coire Bhuidhe, then follow the path to the summit. You should climb its sister peak, the Corbett Sgurr an Fhurain, whilst there.

Hellish drive once more to Strathan as a back seat passenger-travel sickness pills next time I think. Good path up West side of burn to bealach, very wide bealach, solid ground generally before bearing around shoulder and descending across river (easy as dryish) pick up stalkers path and great zig zags onto ridge before Sgurr Bheag. Path clear down to col and up to summit (no false ones here)cloud at 900m so no views of Sgurr na ciche - better than sept visit at least. Steep descent on grass from 714m col and return via bealach. 9hrs - 0900-1800 at easy pace with 4 breaks.

No you can't take a car to Glendessary Lodge, the gate is locked, and there is a sign indicating "No Mountain Bikes" due to delicate natural habitat etc, next to that there is a sign warning "Danger - Construction Site". You will see the JCBs, Portakabins etc at Glendessary Lodge and you may even follow the 4x4 tracks up the path over to Glen Kingie. Car - okay, but banning bikes? Not on.

Can you take car to Glendessary? If not can you use bike? Is the track good enough to go north on a bike from Glendessary and if yes how far in?
