Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn a' Chrulaiste and Buachaille Etive More (Munro) sit either side of the A82 forming the E gateway to Glen Coe. Beinn a' Chrulaiste has three main ridges, the largest runs N, curving E to the twin topped Meall Bhalach, the second largest runs W to Altnafeadh where there is parking, and the third ridge runs ESE providing an ascent route from Kings House Hotel. The S and NW slopes of Beinn a' Chrulaiste are steep and craggy, and there are crags NE of the summit, however an ascent via the W or ESE ridges will avoid these crags.

Chrulaiste isn't a great mountain for the terrain but for the views it's absolutely superb. Although it's just a great round lump of a hill, the views to Glen Coe and the Buachaille Etive Mor are stunning, and give you a real sense of the shape (and steepness!) of BEM. Climbed it on an overcast 2008-02-17, with some snow about, but not a lot left after the high pressure of the preceeding week.
