Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sail Chaorainn lies to the Loch Cluanie and is the northerly neighbour of Sgurr nan Conbhairean. The summit ridge lies between the cliffs of Coire Mheadhoin to the E and steep craggy slopes overlooking Gleann na Cicheto the W. N of the summit a narrow winding ridge leads to Tigh Mor na Seilge (929m) from where a descent into Gleann na Ciche is possible. To the S lies a small plateau leading to two narrow ridges, a SSW ridge connecting to Sgurr nan Conbhairean, and a very narrow ESE ridge to Carn a Mhadaidh-ruaidh from where a descent via An Reithe (845m) can be made into Coire Dho. This mountain is normally climbed with Sgurr nan Conbhairean from Strath Cluanie.
