Mountain Description
|
|
|
Creag a' Mhaimis the most easterly and traditionally the first climbed of the 7 Munros on the 14km South Glen Sheil Ridge. The ridge has steep slopes to the S and is very craggy with many corries to the N. The traverse of the ridge follows the scalloped rims of the corries between peaks. The ridge may be climbed in two sections E and W but individual peaks are not easily accessed and do not require individual descriptions. Logically, Creag a' Mhaim is also the start of the E section, and for the whole ridge. The normal ascent of Creag a' Mhaim is via its SE ridge where a path leads to the summit from Loch Cluanie

Being the first or the last munro depending on which way you walk the ridge, it has a more open aspect, so giving some really great views to the east.
