Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr na Banachdich is one of the peaks on the Black Cuillin Ridge located between Sgurr Dearg and Sgurr a' Ghreadaidh. The ascent begins in Coire Na Banachdich E of the Window Buttress. The route, which it is marked by cairns, goes up a boulder filled gully then traverses above cliffs to Bealach na Banadaich. Continue S on ridge over minor tops to reach summit. There is some exposed scrambling on the crest. An alternative and easier route WNW of the summit ascends the curved face between the two ridges, An Diallaid and Sgurr nan Gobhar.
|
|
