Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Chabhair is a craggy hill with a long rocky ridge NW then W to where Lochan a' Chaisteil lies cradled in the rocks. There is a short rocky ridge SW to a bealach and another NE to a bealach connecting to An Caisteal. This mountain is generally climbed from Inverarnan, either following the path by Ben Glas Burn (very boggy in places) or by ascending to Lochan an Chaisteil and following NW ridge to the summit. There are several routes through the rocky outcrops to the summit.

Beinn Chabhair

The approach follows a well established path, but can be boggy. There seems to be little consensus on the route, through the crags, to the summit as many paths exist.

Fantastic day out.Started off from Beinglas farm, follow the path on the left hand side of the waterfalls,wich give us an absolute spectacular scenery after the preuvious day's heavy rain. We had sunshine rain showers ranibows hailstones snow and gale strong wind to sweep you off your feet, very wet and boggy path which made the day every tiring. A day to remember.

Bog didn't bother me I was expecting it rained a lot last couple weeks. Went around to the east side of lochan Bienn Chadhair and then lost the path so I followed one of the burns up using my GPS to find the summit as the mist was now here. summited then took the tourist path back but the rain had made it impossible and lost it again near Meal Nan Tarmachan, ended up heading north from this point and decended 200m the wrong way took me 2 hours to get back to Lochan Bienn Chabhair and then down from there nightmare of a day. but made it down safe.

Started out from Beinglas farm where we were camping planning to do 3 munros. Once above the farm it was an easy slightly damp walk out to Lochan Beinn Chabhair. We then went straight up the face and came out just at the cairn. We went down the east side of Beinn Chabhair and then headed digonally up to the bealach between An Caisteal and Beinn a' Chroin. A long climb/walk upto Chroin which seemed to go on forever, back to the bealach and upto An Caisteal. Walked down to Derrydarroch where after only about a mile managed to get a lift back to beinglas farm. not a trip for the faint hearted.
