Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn Liath Mhor is one of three Munros, between Glen Torridon and Glen Carron. Beinn Liath Mhor is an elongated mountain with a single long ridge, WNW to ESE. The path from Achnashellach branches at Drochaide Coire Laire to give access to both ends of the ridge making for an easy traverse. Normal ascent route is from the N branch of the path onto the E slopes, WNW to minor top (876m) then continue WNW ridge to summit. A descent can be made W then SW from summit but this requires scrambling, and the route may be difficult to find.

Although the ascent of the eastern slopes of the east top looks steep on the map, there is actually a very clear path branching off at a cairn from the approach path from Achnashellach. Descending from the Munro summit to the west, first steep craggy drop-off - head directly down the middle of the ridge to pick up a path that slips deviously down amongst the rocks.

This area south of Glen Torridon is superb, somehow neat, clean rocky lochans, white quartzite sweeping slopes and great views esp from the lower peaks, sit for hours on the tops.
Access routes from the north are a pleasure and full of interest whilst from the south coire lair and the mainreachen buttress tempt you to have an easy day low down taking in the sights.
Beinn Liath Mhor has the neatest summit cairn I've seen, a mini version of the conical shape of the summit from the north side.

Slight change to the start of this route. The guidebooks instruct you to head SW along the line to a cottage for the path into Coire Lair.
A sign at the station requests that you DO NOT walk along the rail line but to cross over. Do this and follow the track opposite, up to a junction of paths. Take the left-hand route for about 400 metres, to NG997486. A cairn marks a path branching off to the left which will join the path coming up from the cottage.
