Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgor na h-Ulaidh lies far enough from roads to be seldom seen, but it is a steep craggy mountain well worth a visit. Sgor na h-Ulaidh lies at the head of Glen Creran but is not easy to access from here. The normal access routes are from Gleann-leac-na-muidhe, to the N, following the path by the Allt na Muidhe to ascend SE onto the N ridge of Stob an Fhuarain, you can also ascend directly to the col between Sgor na h-Ulaidh and Stob an Fhuarain (968m) but this is more difficult. Finally, you can ascend from Glen Etive, by first ascending Meall a' Bhuird (748m) then following the SE ridge to the summit. The route from Gleann-leac-na-muidhe gives better views of the mountain but is steeper and more challenging.

The Glen Etive approach is pretty straightforward. After leaving the forest there is a faint path for the first half mile on rough grass. Eventually fence posts lead up to the bealach at 117
513 and they continue to the summit. Soon after the start of this final section there is a band of rock which is easily avoided; there are no further difficulties.

When I climbed this mountain with Gareth Lynn in poor visibility a GPS was very useful indeed.

Beware the descent north off this hill if heading back to Glencoe: be sure to continue to Corr na Beinne before descending steeply northwest to avoid the crags. We didn't and got ourselves perched on them looking wistfully down at the bealach below. In the end we had to climb back up. Ouch!
