Mountain Description
|
|
|
Druim Shionnach is one of the 7 Munros on the 14km long South Glen Shiel Ridge. The ridge has steep slopes to the S and is very craggy with many corries to the N. The traverse of the ridge follows the scalloped rims of the corries between peaks. The ridge may be climbed in two sections E and W but individual peaks are not easily accessed and do not require individual descriptions. Druim Shionnach is in the E section and is unusual in that it offers an alternatitive ascent route via its N ridge which has a path leading down to Loch Cluanie.

This was my 1st weekend away to do the hills, and the South Shiel Ridge was well worth the wait, We left the Clunnie Inn 8.00 am on a beautiful March day, hardly a cloud in the sky, we started with Creag a Mhaim which was an easy assent to the top when we got there the views were amazing we could see the 5 sisters, and the cuillins of sky, there was a lot of snow on some parts of the ridge which made this even better, it took 9 hours to get to the 7th Munro of the day, Creag nan Damh, then came the descent this was a bit of a pain after the 7 munros but luckily we left a car at the bottom.
