Mountain Description
|
|
|
A' Ghlas-bheinn overlooking Gleann Choinneachain approximates in outline to a triangular pyramid. The broad E face is eroded by streams into a number of parallel ridges, the most northerly of which has moderate to easy slopes and offers an ascent route from the path to Bealach na Sroine. There are two other ridges, both craggy. The N rocky ridge leads to Meall Dubh overlooking Bealach na Sroine and the equally rocky SSE ridge to Bealach an Sgairne where it links to Beinn Fhada. The rocky slopes from Bealach na Sgairne offer an alternative ascent route.

20/11/04 A beautiful blood red sky as the sun descended on the Cuillin, while at the same time a crescent moon lit the sky above the whaleback of Ben Nevis, tremendous.

A pleasant walk to which can easily be added a visit to the Fallls of Glomach.
