Mountain Description
|
|
|
Saileag is the lowest of the Munros on the N side of Glen Shiel, and its summit lies at the convergence of three ridges. The long rocky N ridge forms the head-wall of Gleann Lichd and connects with the lower slopes of Beinn Fhada. To the ESE a narrow ridge leads to Sgurr a' Bhealaich Dhearg and to the WSW a grassy ridge slopes down to Bealach an Lapain. This bealach is the normal route of ascent from Glen Shiel and is also the ascent route for the Five Sisters which lie to the W. Saileag has steep grass S slopes and moderate but craggy N slopes.
