Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr nan Coireachan and Sgurr Thuilm are two Munros on a long twisting ridge at the head of Glen Finnan. Sgurr nan Coireachan lies at the intersection of three ridges, W to Beinn Garbh (896m), E to Meall an Tarmachain (826m) leading to Sgurr Thuilm, and SE to Sgurr a Choire Riabhaich (852m). The ascent from Glen Finnan is normally via Sgurr a Choire Riabhaich then along the narrow SE ridge to the summit. An ascent from Strathan in Glen Dessary is also possible on the NE ridge of Meall an Tarmachain, following the ridge round the N side of the Allt Coire nan Gall to Glen Pean.

Roy and I climbed this during the LAMM 2008 Mountain marathon on the 8th June. It was the 3rd checkpoint. We did a long contour traverse from below Sgurr Thuilm, starting at 370 metres and reaching the top of the ridge at Meall an Tarmachain. It was a perfect sunny day, warm with a light cooling breeze. If we weren't so knackered we could have got in Sgurr Thuilm as well. We will save that for another day, probably in winter when the midges are dormant!!

Keep the Glen Finnan horseshoe for the best weather conditions and you will be rewarded with some of the finest views Scotland has to offer (Ben Nevis,the Skye Cullins, Rum, Eigg, Knoydart, Glen Dessary and the local Munros/Corbetts)walk ins not too bad either.
