Mountain Description
|
|
|
A' Chailleach which lies to the S of Loch a' Bhraoin is the most westerly of the Fannaichs. The summit lies at the intersection of three ridges. The N ridge which terminates in the crags of Sron na Goibhre overlooking Loch a' Bhraoin, provides a possible ascent route on its E face to the N end of Loch Toll an Lochain. The SSW ridge which curves SSE to An Sguman does not lead to an access route. The E ridge connects to Tomain Coinich which is connected to Sgurr Breac. Tomain Coinich has a single N ridge the Druim Reidh which offers the best ascent route from the access path at the E end of Loch a' Bhraoin

Again like its neighbour it is a straightforward climb aside from the initial part up to Leitir Fhearna from Loch a' Bhraoin. The way I did this walk gave a choice as to which Munro is climbed first, as I descended via the ascent route. I chose A' Chailleach first but it doesnt make much difference. An interesting hill nonetheless that offers good views of the more eastern Fannaichs.
