Mountain Description
|
|
|
Ciste Dhubh lies within a group of Munros to the N of Loch Cluanie in Glen Shiel and is a craggy mountain with many steep and difficult slopes. To the N of the summit are a number of short steep ridges (SW, N, NE and E) but only the longer S ridge to An Cnapach (877m) is normally used for ascent. Normal routes are on the S face of An Cnapach from Bealach a' Choinich or from the path in An Caorann Mor up the E face to the S ridge.

The ridge up to Ciste Dhubh was better than I thought it would be, as can be seen from my photo. Personally you may as well do all 4 in one outing as walk this far and do 1.
If you want to do all 4 but can't get a lift to the East end, how about biking in from Morvich to Glenlicht House.

This is not a "cool" munro to do because it is difficult to link up with "5" others to make a good days bagging and it has along walk in ! But its really great if you go via the green grassy slopes of Am Bathach straight off the A87 which is "almost" a Munro itself. The day we did it (Sept 2003) it was howling a gale and we ended up simply lying face down near the top of Am Bathach spread-eagled laughing at the shape of each others face in the wind ! But it is one lovely mountain and I climbed with too much whisky perhaps from the night before and the fear that Yvonne would and I wouldn't
