Mountain Description
|
|
|
Spidean Mialach and Gleouraich are connected by a ridge on the N side of Loch Quoich. They form grassy corries to their S but to the N their character is very different with high craggy corries and rocky slopes. The S slopes are consequently more accessible, particularly as stalkers paths run high on their slopes. From the summit of Spidean Mialach a ridge runs WNW 2.5km along the rims of successive N corries to Gleouraich. To the E this ridge continues a further 3.5km before losing its rocky nature. A descent SW from the summit of Spidean Mialach on steep grassy slopes leads to a path W of Loch Fearna.

An airy summit with drops on three sides. In winter beware the cornices which come almost up to the shelter cairn. Not advisable to try to find the top if visibility is bad.
