An Gearanach
(Click to enlarge) |
An Garbhanach is almost obscuring An Gearanach, although the Western slopes of the hill can be seen bathed in sunlight. This photo was taken from the eastern ridge of Stob Coire a' Chairn. Ben Nevis, and Carn Mor Dearg can be seen further to the North.

Mountain Description
|
|
|
An Gearanach one of the more northerly Mamores is also part of the Ring of Steall. This circular route around Coire a' Mhail is named for a waterfall that cascades into Glen Nevis. An Gearanach and its southerly neighbour An Garbhanach are connected by a high col (950m) on a very narrow ridge. The N slopes of An Gearanach are more complex with three ridges projecting into Glen Nevis, which run NE, NNE and NNW. The access path from Glen Nevis is on the NNW ridge.

If approaching An Gearanach from the wire bridge, the route is initially very water-logged. During a fairly dry spell (13th September 2006) a comfortable alternative was to ignore the
bridge and stay on the path. Very soon the river bends to the right away from the path. Follow the river for 120 m to a ford. I was able to use this without wetting the insides of my boots. Follow the other bank eastwards for 200 m to a rowan tree, then turn right to join the
path up the hill.

This is the best part of the whole Ring of Steall; for best enjoyment, leave this Munro to last and do the Ring anticlockwise. The easy scramble up the arete of An Garbhanach is great fun and the ridge traverse over the top to An Gearanach is superb- exposure is present the whole way if you stick with the ridge line. This is a great Munro, in a great situation; the views are magnificent, even on a reasonably clear day. Do the 'Ring' and have a great day out in the mountains!

Brilliant ridge walk that requires strong knees! The wire bridge is a little daunting especially for the vertically challenged but overall no real difficulties. The time is pretty optimistic though it took us 8hrs. We did the route in reverse, tackling Sgurr a Mhaim first. (N.B. Munromagic times are a minimum and exclude breaks, Ed. )
