Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn an Lochain is the hill that faces you as you reach the top of "Rest and be thankful" on the A83 and is most easterly of the range of hills which line the southern side of Glen Kinglass. It is a craggy hill with its eastern and most craggy slope towering over Loch Restil. The summit lies at the intersection of three ridges, S, NW and NE, the latter being the longest and narrowest. A short easy ascent can be made from the "Rest and be thankful" carpark, but the NE ridge offers a much more interesting ascent.

Me at the summit. Almost missed this, were it not for the cloud shifting and showing me that the large cairn which I was sitting on was not actually the top.

I climbed this little gem of a hill on saturday the 4th may 2008 took the NE ridge route as described on the corbett book also had the route from the SMC official gps routes in my GARMIN GPS
weather was overcast but i still had great views all the way to the summit,if i could offer one bit of advice would be to advise anybody considering the decent in the Rest and be Thankfull to consider decending by NE Ridge as the descent via the south into the Rest and be Thankfull is very steep and there is actually no path whatsoever

a word of warning...
attempted to climb on the 3rd of February this year (2008) and found the 'stream' we had to cross to be quite a river due to recent rain. If you are planning on following the advised route along the road and crossing you should consider the previous days weather beforehand.

Parked at the Butterbridge (were the old road crosses the A83) and headed up round the trees to meet the main path. Climbed up through the cloud, bitterly cold though no real wind. My dog had frost all over his eyebrows and face, looked like he had aged about 5 years! Reached the summit and was met with a cloud inversion. Brilliant! Ben More and Ben Cruachan peeking above the clouds. Brocken Spectre topped off a great day.
