Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr Dhomhnuill has two satellite tops, one unnamed at 803m to the NW and Sgurr na h-Ighinn at 766m to the SSW, and each of these tops has a long WSW ridge, the Druim Garbh to the N and the Druimm Leac a' Sgiathain to the S enclosing a large corrie. These ridges offer a pleasant ridge walk and are the preferred ascent route. Sgurr Dhomhnuill also has two NE ridges of unequal length leading down to the path through Glen Scaddle but this would be a very long approach route.

Me perched on the small circular shelter which currently (November 2007) rings the highest point. Where has the trig-point column gone to, that is shown in the SMC Corbett guide book? Superb view-point!

The area S of the Fort William-Mallaig road is extremely rough and Knoydart-like, pure Corbett country, little visited and mostly trackless. Sgurr Dhomhnuill is both the highest peak and centrally placed, so a superb viewpoint. The S ridge which I ascended had a very steep slippery grass and moss section through crags, and the N ridge looked from the top to be a dauntingly steep and long rocky scramble down. All in all a superb and challenging peak which deserves to be rated one of the best in the West Highlands.
