Mountain Description
|
|
|
Arran's 4 Corbetts are sufficiently close to one another to be climbed together, but Goatfell is popular as a single peak and is described separately. The three remaining peaks lie on a long winding ridge that starts with Beinn Nuis (792m) then goes N to Beinn Tarsuinn (Corbett), Cir Mhor (Corbett) and finally Caisteal Abhail (Corbett). Beinn Tarsuinn is a rough rocky hill with three main ridges, SSW to Beinn Nuis, SE to Beinn a' Chliabhain (653m), and NNE is the impressive A Chir ridge which is too difficult for hill-walkers, but a path on its W slopes avoids this problem. There is also a short broad NW ridge. There are paths on the SSW, SE and NNE ridges that provide ascent routes for Beinn Tarsuinn.

Beinn Tarsuinn doesn't have a lot of shape but the south ridge makes a superb walk from Beinn Nuis. No commiting moves are needed unless you want them and the ridge is almost walkable. It was a surprise when I walked upon the Old Man of Tarsuinn! The north ridge requires more scrambling but if your heading around to Beinn a' Chliabhain as I did it's easy to loose the turn off point and descend too low - I ended up reascening to get onto the ridge. Tarsuinn and Chliabhain make a great circuit and the Chliabhain ridge is equally exhilarating and rewarding.
