Mountain Description
Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan is a very distinctive mountain with its twin peaks located at the intersection of 5 narrow ridges. The true summit, 8m higher than its twin lies to the E. From the summit, ridges lead E to An Socach and NE to Mulllach na Dheiragain. From the minor top (1143m) ridges lead S to the path in Gleann Gniomhaidh leading to the Alltbeithe Hostel, NW to Creag nan Clachan Geala (999m) and down towards the Falls of Glomach and N to Creag Ghlas (856m) where paths lead down to Carnach in Glen Elchaig

An excellent mountain that is well worth the effort to reach, Approached from Loch Bheinn a' Mheadhoin in Glen Affric and cycled to Alltbeithe which took about 1.5 hours. Climbed An Socach and then Mullach na Dheiragain before ascending Ceathreamhnan. Returned back to Alltbeithe for the cycle back which made the route about 10 hours long. Ceathreamhnan would be well worth a return just to explore its many ridges and tops. In fact the Munro Mullach na Dheiragain is really just an extension of Ceathreamhnan's east ridge.
