Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Sgulaird lies at the head of Loch Creran, so the ascent is from sea level. It is a mountain of four distinct tops in a line SW to NE, and one long ridge W from the S top (863m) which is a common ascent route. To the S of the mountain is Coire Buidhe through which a track/path (not shown on OS map) leads to the bealach at its head. An ascent from the bealach may be difficult as there are many rocky outcrops on these slopes, however the path should be used to ascend to the col E of the minor top (488m) rather than losing height climbing over this top. A direct ascent of the W slopes from Taraphocain to the col S of the summit, through rocky outcrops, is the shortest route. Finally to the N is Glen Ure where a private track/path facilitates an ascent via Stob Gaibhre (864m)

Combined with Beinn Fhionnlaidh. The traverse across the wild hinterland between the two was actually more straightforward than I'd anticipated, and easy to navigate with the lochs guideposts. Took the left-hand prow of the north-east ridge and their was a little bit of scrambling near the top, an exciting route though. Definitely to be saved for a clear day for the descent and seaward views.

My GPS logged 1,212m of ascent to climb a 937m high mountain, so be prepared for plenty up and down! To be fair, the ascent from Druimavuic over the 488m and 863m tops on a faint path wasn't as steep or tiring as I'd expected. The spectacular sea and mountain views also made it well worthwhile - definitely save this one for a good day. If you descend WNW direct from the summit, there's no clear path back so you'll need to choose your own line of traverse. As I'd been up since 3.30am watching the Australian F1, the sleepy drive home at the end was actually the most dangerous part of the day!

Followed the track from Drumnavuic through the forest then the zig zags upwards. We went against advice and followed the path to the 488m top and scrambled down a really craggy area to the col. When we looked back we could see the path take a longer route avoiding the crags! From here an 'unending' climb to the minor top (863). Lots of ups and down over numerous rocky tops. Stay with the fairly obvious path as it leads straight to the summit of BenSgulaird. We had really poor visibility above 500m as we could not see the shorter route down from the 863m top we took the longer route back).
