Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Fhionnlaidh is a rocky mountain located between Glen Creran and Glen Etive. It is elongated E to W with the summit in the centre and smaller top (841m) to the E. The slopes of Beinn Fhionnlaidh are generally rocky and can be difficult to ascend. The most common route is to ascend the 841m top from the S via the bealach between it and the much smaller Meall nan Gobhar, then bearing NW to the summit ridge and W to summit. The ascent involves some minor scrambling.

Buddy and I with Sgor na-h Ulaidh (our first Munro of the day) beyond. Originally only intended on doing the one but the weather persuaded me to make the most of the day and bag them both. 07/06/08

Climbed from Glen Ure. A straightforward ascent route that opens the possibility of combining with Beinn Sgulaird. If climbing from this side I'd recommend continuing down the east ridge from the summit, to get a flavour of this side of the mountain, and then dropping from the col into Glen Ure to descend.

Black Mount Estate 01838 400 255; permitted route during stalking 1st August to 20th October 2007, including weekends. From Invercharnan, through forest to 595 m col north of Meall nan Gobhar, joining ridge near 841 m point.

23rd August 2007. We started at Invercharnan; there is room for two cars to park just north of the bridge over the Charnan. After leaving the forest, there is a dilapidated bridge at 118
490 but the stream can be crossed on the stones. Aiming for the col north of Meall nan Gobhar, a path has developed along the south bank of the stream. On entering a deep gorge,
the path crosses over to the hillside on the north bank. At the col the path turns north up the hill. We lost it in cloud at 700 m but aimed for the dip in the ridge at 800 m, at which point we emerged into a brief temperature inversion.
