Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Sgritheall is an isolated Munro overlooking Arnisdale on the shore of Loch Hourn. It has a curved summit ridge with three tops, the summit which lies to the NE, a Middle Top (974m) and an East Top (906m). The S slopes are steep and stony with rocky outrops. From the summit ridge two ridges run NE, one curving NW, to enclose a high corrie. A third long ridge runs W to Creag an Taghain. The W ridge offers the easiest ascent routeif you can find a way through the forest of Coille Mhialairigh. From the E top a third NE ridge produces a second high corrie, Coire Min, to the SE of this is Bealach Arnisdale, offering a steep ascent form the village below.

Maybe it's because I was brought up walking in the lake district and love the way the mountains seem to rise from the water or maybe it was the stunning weather that we had but this was a fantastic Munro to climb. We ascended from Armisdale as we couldn't find a way to go up through the wood (there's a small cairn on left hand side of the road driving towards Armisdale as we found on descent) and ended up having a lovely circular walk following the sign up from the village, over the top of the summit (NWish) and then S through the woods. I wouldn't like to go through wood in the wet though!

Ref comment below: "if starting the ascent a mile west from Arnisdale... take a machette" - I totally agree! and make ABSOLUTELY SURE you start at the correct place (we didn't) - the ascent through the forestry in purgatory! But, it's the best way to traverse the mountain (honest).

In the lovely village of Arnsidale follow the "way up the hill" path it's worn but a big clue. Definitely better on a sunny day with the views over Knoydart which I didn't see this time but saw the reverse view last year from Ladhar Bheinn.
