Mountain Description
|
|
|
Bla Bheinn is not one of the Cuillin but an equally magnificent isolated mountain with steep rocky slopes. The main rocky ridge of Bla Bheinn slopes upwards from Camas Fionnairigh Bay NNE to the summit. To the W the slopes fall steeply and precipitously to Srath na Creitheach. To the N, at the head of Coire Dubh, Bla Bheinn meets a narrow pinnacled ridge from Sgurr nan Each, the highest point on this ridge being Clach Glas (not named on OS map). SSE of the summit Bla Bheinn meets with ridges of two smaller hills, An Stac and Slat Bheinn, to produce three corries. The most N of these Coire Uaigneich offers the easiest ascent route. Ascend into Coire Uaigneich and continue on the N side of the burn flowing out of the corrie, high into the corrie to where a path zig-zags N up the SE face.

Stephen and Colin descending from point 926 into the col that marks the top of the gulley ( a common route of ascent and descent). A bit of fun to finish the trip. 25/05/08

Climbed this fantastic Munro on a glorious sunny day in July 2005. The views from the top across to the Cuillin were awesome .I sat on the rocks near to the summit to have my lunch and I could easily have spent hours there taking in the view. My favourite Munro to date by a country mile.

A great hill to combine with a good classic rock route...we went via The Great Prow, really enjoyable, quick scoot to summit from the top of the route.

A good, rebuilt path leads up by the Allt na Dunaiche. It becomes more stony and eroded as it climbs Coire Uaigneich. There is a rock wall along the right-hand side of this route. As soon as this wall ends there is a stony path, badly worn in places, up the grass to the right. At the end of the steeply rising grassy terrace a narrow rocky gully appears on the left. At the top it opens out onto a stony path leading up a broad slope. Before reaching the summit, the path enters a semi-circular hollow with rocky walls. A short route using the rock steps on the left-hand side leads over this and a gentle slope leads to the summit itself.
