Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of Sgairneach Mhor lies close the cliffs of Coire Creagach. To the E of the corrie a narrow NE ridge forms the normal ascent route from the track in Coire Dhomhain. To the W of the corrie the short N ridge leads to steep rocky slopes. The broad W ridge has steep N slopes but gentle S slopes leading down to the broad bealach at the head of Coire Dhomhain, which connects to Beinn Udlamain. S slopes are gentle, and a broad S ridge connects to Mam Ban, 919m.

If doing route anti clockwise you can go south of Sow of Atholl to Dalnaspidal and use the bridges. Adds a bit more at end. If doing as a single use same logic but follow track to col. Result dry feet.

Go prepared in winter, the river when in spate is very difficult to cross, there is no dry line across it that I could find, also talked to other climbers who failed to find a dry crossing. Once you have crossed there is a good path up and no other problems.

When ascending Sgairneach Mhor, there is a well trodden path about 300m west of the waypointed route. There is a good crossing of the river which has been built up. Cross the river at NN61517492. This joins the other path at NN60847358. The path crossing the bealach between Sgairneach Mhor and Beinn Udlamain (again it is well trodden) is about 200m north of the waypointed route at NN58187295.
