Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall na Teanga is a complex steep sided mountain with many ridges and corries. Three short ridges run NNW, NE to Meall Dubh, and SE. The ascent from Cam Bealach is normally from the col between Meall na Teanga and Meall Dubh up the NE ridge. A SW runs between Coire Lochain and Coire Odhar Beag then splits W to Meall Odhar and S Meall Coire Lochain. From both these tops ridges continue SW with gentle to moderate slopes down to Gleann Cia-aig.

Climbing Meall na Teanga on its own I feel makes for one of the easiest routes you will find in terms of both navigation and physical exertion. Had zero visibility at 800m and above but makes a good afternoon outing with it taking no more than 4.5 hours.

Climbed on a cloudless day of baking heat with a swarm of clegs for company. Ascended directly up the steep grass slopes at the end of the forest around Allt Cia-aig. Quite a slog, but worth it for the fabulous views all around. The north face of the Ben dominated to the south. Despite heat haze, we made out around 50 Munros without trying too hard. The paths between Allt Cia-aig and the Cam Bealach are at best indistinct and hard to find.

Well I've tried to reach this summit twice! Once we did the companion, but were driven to return down the glen by fierce winds, then a couple of years later we tried the same route, and were almost avalanched off the N steeps of Meall na Teanga. Hoping we might succeed this March but probably via the southern approach this time!
