Mountain Description
|
|
|
Creag nan Damh is the most westerly and traditionally the last climbed of the 7 Munros on the 14km South Glen Shiel Ridge. The ridge has steep slopes to the S and is very craggy with many corries to the N. The traverse of the ridge follows the scalloped rims of the corries between peaks. The ridge may be climbed in two sections E and W but individual peaks are not easily accessed and do not require individual descriptions. Creag nan Damh is in the W section. A descent of Creag nan Damhs E ridge leads to the path in Am Fraoch-choire and its W ridge leads to Bealach Dubh Leac from where a second path descends to Glen Sheil.

The full length of the ridge picking up the 7 Munros is a great walk with superb views to both sides of the ridge (cloud permitting!) but it is a long hard slog. I (roughly) estimate around 6,000 ft of climbing and similar descent (slightly less because I started at Malagan Bridge and finished at Cluanie Inn, which is 200m higher up the Glen Shiel. The books will tell you that the ridge is around 14km.
Tip: the bus stops at the Inn, with buses heading back down the Glen. These will only pick you up at bus stops but will drop you down anywhere, so walking west-east is a good option.

Make sure you take the advised descent routes, we choose a path that looked quicker and more direct, it was neither,which turned in to a bit of an obstacle course with biting midges rather than screaming drill seargeants
