Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Eighe is a large and complex mountain with many peaks and corries, the most beautiful of which is Coire Mhic Fhearchair with its loch and towering triple buttress. Spidean Coire nan Clach lies in the centre of the main ridge linking Coinneach Mhor to the W, Sgurr Ban to the E and Ruadh-stac Beag to the NE. The normal route of ascent is from the Coire Mhic Fhearchair via the W ridge of Rhuadh-stac Mor. There is also a short ridge SSE to Stuc Coire an Laoigh, from which a descent SE leads to a path returning to the road in Glen Torridon. The upper slopes are boulder strewn and the slopes have rocky outcrops. N.B. the traverse of the whole Beinn Eighe main ridge necessitates moderate scrambling.

Ruadh-stac Mor and Spidean Coire nan Clach
|
A Scottish classic with the magnificent triple buttress in Coire Mhic Fearchair. A moderate route, but the traverse of Beinn Eighe including the triple buttress (highly recommended) is more difficult as it requires scrambling.

The good path from Glen Torridon leads into Coire an Laoigh. From here we aimed to the left of a band of rock straight ahead in the corrie; a path led to the col north of Stuc Coire an Laoigh and on to the main ridge. An alternative path leads to the col on the main ridge to the east of the summit.
