Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr nan Ceannaichean, the smallest Munro, is a compact and relatively steep sided mountain with a craggy W face. From the S it has a rounded profile with two short ridges (ESE and W) on the upper slopes only. A path from the track in Pollan Buidhe ascends the S face to the W ridge. There is a distinct N ridge, which forms the W wall of Coire Toll nam Bian, and leads down to a path by the Alltan na Feola.

One of the smallest munros, but it didn't feel like it on the steep bits of the descent!

Climbed 14/4/06, a great hill.
If you choose to complete the Sgurr nan Ceannaichean -> Moruisg ciruit anti clockwise here's how to save yourself some pain: From the A890 (car park) cross river by bridge and pass under railway, the path seems to disappear. Do NOT head N to north ridge of SnC, instead follow the railway line fence west for about 1/3 mile (very boggy) before turning only slighly ENE directly towards the Alltan na Feola to pick up an excellent stalkers path on the east side of the burn - this excellent path will take you easily to the foot of N ridge (avoiding deep peat hag area).
