This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
| Altitude |
|
927 m (3041 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.
Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.
NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Mountain names are usually in Gaelic, the native language of the Scottish Highlands, or have been derived from the old Scots and Norse languages. We give the most commonly accepted meaning, but accept that some of these are disputed.

Eididh nan Clach Geala and Meall nan Ceapraichean are sister peaks flanking a high corrie containing a small loch, Lochan a' Chnapaich. From the summit of Eididh nan Clach Geala, a long ridge runs WSW then turns WNW to become the Druim na Saobhaidhe which forms the N slopes of Gleann na Squaib. This ridge which has steep and craggy slopes close to the summit, offers a direct ascent route on easy slopes from the path in the glen. Eididh nan Clach Geala extends N to a minor peak (872m) with craggy slopes overlooking Coire an Lochain Sgeirich. From this peak a ridge NW leads to a path which is an alternative ascent route from Inverlael.

I climbed this hill along with Seana Bhraigh on a hot summer's day in 2006. After climbing Seana Bhraigh we again skirted Cadha Dearg before crossing pathless, grassy terrain aiming for the prominent cone of Meall nan Ceapraichean before turning west at approx 276846 climbing Eididh nan Clach Geala's rocky west side. Which is a fairly easy climb with not too much ascent required.
