Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn a' Chlaidheimh is a remote peak 3km N of Sgurr Ban with rivers to the W, N and E protecting it like a moat. It can be climbed with Sgurr Ban using the path from Loch a' Bhraoin, but the more usual access route is from Corrie Hallie to the N following the track to Achneigie on the N banks of the Abhainn Loch an Nid. However, you then have to cross an unbridged river going in and out and the water level in Highland rivers can rise signifcantly in a day. Beinn a' Chlaidheimh is elongated and slightly curved with easy slopes on the E rising to moderate slopes with craggy outcrops nearer the summit (this is the usual ascent route). To the W the slopes are steeper and much more craggy.

Beinn a' Chlaidheimh

Moderate route but river crossing required, therefore, this route is only possible in times of low rainfall. N.B. the level in rivers can rise rapidly after rain!

Tried to do all the Fisherfield 6 in one day, but lack of fitness stopped me. Superb views on a day of perfect temperature inversion. The bothy at Shenevall very welcoming, I will return to this special place.
