Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn nan Aighenan is a remote hill at the head of Glen Kinglass. It has moderately steep slopes with rocky outcrops and some craggy areas, especially N face. Beinn nan Aighenan can be accessed from Glen Etive over the bealach between Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor then up the rocky NW ridge to the summit. It can also be accessed via path from Loch Tulla in the E (parking available at Victoria Bridge) then up the rocky E ridge to the summit. Either route entails navigating between rocky outcrops but scrambling can be avoided.

Climed along with Ben Starav and Glas Bheinn Mhor on a clear Octobers day with good views but against a strong wind. Had the image of the picture of Beinn nan Aighenan from the SMC guide in my mind. That picture does not do this mountain justice. Long hard but rewarding day. Be carefull crossing any of the burns as the stones are covered with thick sliperry moss. We were on the east bank of Alt Mheuran only about 30m above sea level and 100 m from the bridge, when my wife slipped crossing a small tributary and slid 10m down a 45°slope. Luckily she had only minor cuts and bruises.
