Mountain Description
Aonach Beag is a triangular peak with a short narrow E ridge connecting to Geal Charn via a high col (1000m). It also connects to Beinn Eibhinn by an equally short and narrow SW ridge at a col (970m). The largest ridge runs NW to the crags of Meall Nathrach from where easy slopes lead down to the An Lairig and the paths to Loch Pattack and Glen Spean. The NE slopes of the summit are craggy and the W slopes rocky.
