Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr na Carnach is one of three Munros on the N Glen Shiel ridge in the group known as the "Five Sisters". The three Munros enclose Coire Domain to the E and to the W form the steep and rocky towering E wall of Glen Shiel. To the WNW, a single ridge leads down to Glen Shiel and whilst an ascent on the W slopes is possible, it is not recommended. The E slopes are also steep, and in places rocky. Sgurr na Carnach is central of the three Munros and consequently it is normally ascended from Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe to the S or Sgurr Fuaran to the N.

A great walk in good conditions, or so I am led to believe. An exciting and challenging one in mist and cloud nonetheless. It is worth noting that the footbridge near Sheil Bridge is not in use.

We did this Munro Triplet from the back (Morvich up Gleann Lichd) but left too late of an October day (12-30pm) The walk on a Land Rover track is wonderful right up to Glenlicht House but progress slows up quite a bit after that. It all gets a bit wet at this time of year but the scenery leaves the A87 route redundant ! We knew we were pushing it to get the 3 Munros finished and by the time we got to Sgurr Fhuaran our time was already up ! The rest was a nightmare and the drop off Fhuaran steep and relentless. Last 2 hours in the dark and not much fun but a lesson learned !
