Mountain Description
|
|
|
Carn Ghluasaid on the N shore of Loch Cluanie is elongated on E to W. The smooth S slopes, which rise steeply from the shores of the Loch, have few crags and a stalkers path gives easy access via the SW ridge. In contrast the E and N slopes are craggy and steep. To the W a narrow col connects a minor top (998m) which allows access to Sgurr nan Conbhairean, another Munro.
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Carn Ghluasaid include
|
| Stony/rocky Slopes on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags near summit. |
|
|
| |
|
General Considerations
|
| Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent. |
|
| Wind usually increases with altitude. |
|
| Visibility can change markedly with cloud level. |
|
| River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. |

Climbed on 31 may in fantastic weather. We decided to ignore the route on this site and went back over the tops on the return leg just to spend the whole day on the hill. We did have a fairly late start and never seen any sign of other people except 1 guy para glideing from the first summit. I was fairly jealous of him 6 hrs later as I decended.
