Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr na Lapaich, which is linked to An Riabhachan and Carn nan Gobhar by its WSW and ESE ridges is the most craggy of this group. N of the summit a narrow ridge curves NW around the crags of Garbh Choire to An Leth-Chreag, where the slopes into Glen Srathfarrar are otherwise moderate and accessible. To the S the summit ridge leads to Sgurr nan Clachan Geala where the ridge divides, the main ridge going SSW to Braigh a' Choire Bhig whilst a short rocky ridge leads E then SE to an access path from Glen Cannich in Glas Toll. The ridge then continues SSW to Mullach a' Ghlas-thuill whose steep slopes overlook Loch Mullardoch.

The route from the south, starting at Loch Mullardoch Dam seems the most satisfying - climbing Carn nan gobhar first. Note that in full winter conditions, the rocky ridge leading from Bealach na Cloiche Dubh to Sgurr na Lapaich is a full-on mountaineering route, with a potentially tricky top 20 metres to the trig point if frozen. The descent via Braigh a' Choire Bhig and Mullach a Ghlas-thuill gives fantastic views, but the Allt Taige could be difficult to cross after wet weather (bridge over the Allt Mullardoch). The track from the Allt Mullardoch to the dam is a muddy mess due to Argocats
