Mountain Description
|
|
|
A' Mharconaich is orientated SW to NE, with an elongated summit ridge. From the summit, a ridge with crags high on its E flank runs N, then NE down to the Balsporran Cottages by the A9 road. There are also some steep and stony slopes on the N flank of this ridge. To the SW a second shorter ridge, with steep flanks, connects to Beinn Udlamain at a high col. The S slopes into Coire Dhomhain are steep and should be avoided whereas the slopes NW from the summit ridge offer an easier ascent from the stalkers path in the bealach at the head of Coire Fhar. This beallach connects to Geal Charn

Due to starting the walk at high altitude this hill and its near neighbour can be climbed very quickly from Balsporran Cottages. From Geal Charn a direct ascent of A' Mharconaich can be made using one of the numerous paths that pass up its Northern side. I reccommend continuing over Beinn Udlamain and Sgaineach Mhor to make the day more rewarding and longer.
