Mountain Description
Fraochaidh lies south of Beinn a' Bheithir (Munro), in the heart of the Appin forests. It consists of one long snaking ridge, primarily E-W but with the eastern end orientated NE. The upper parts of the N slopes are fairly craggy, but given the shape of the hill the best approaches are from Ballachulish to NE end of the ridge, or from Duror through Glen Duror forest to the W end of the ridge. The ridge walk offers few navigation difficulties, although the forest may as it has many tracks.
