Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of A' Bhuidheanach Beag is a gentle rise on the southern margin of a high moorland plateau. From the summit a long S ridge slopes at an easy angle to the Dalnaspittal Lodge below. The flanks of this ridge are steeper close to the summit, as are those of the neighbouring shorter ridge to the E. To the W lies Meall a' Chaorainn whose easy upper slopes lead to difficult steeper slopes lower down. However, bearing N as you approach Creagan Doire Dhonaich, takes you into Coire Dubhaig where easy slopes return to the A9 road by Balsporran Cottages. To the N and E are the gentle undulations of the high plateau. The normal approach is across the plateau from the N where a track ascends to the plateau by a disused quarry.

Carn na Caim and A' Bhuidheanach Beag
|
Easy route on rather featureless high moorland plateau, which can lead to navigational problems in poor visibility. Little more than a long walk.

I had a very different experience to Alex (comment above) - Solo ascent in Winter on virgin snow (Feb 07), fleeting view through the thin mist of valley and sun made for a very atmospheric ascent. XC ski's would have made it even more fun.

Cannot speak less highly of these two Munros - no topographical character or individuality, A9's presence spoils feeling of remoteness/wilderness/adventure (a merit of the often-wrongly-criticised Monadhliath hills), views relatively poor compared with surrounding peaks.
