Mountain Description
|
|
|
The sprawling mass of Tom a' Choinich takes the form of a triangular pyramid, with three major and one minor ridges converging on the summit. The main ridges run NNE to Creag Dubh, ESE to Gleann nam Fiadh and to the WSW a long winding ridge leads to Carn Eighe. A short narrow E ridge leads down to a Bealach Toll Easa from where paths lead to Glen Cannich and Glen Affric. Whilst some of the slopes are very steep, there are good ascent routes via the W and WSW ridges.

After the initial 4km approach to Tom a' choinich a zig-zagging climb up the south-east ridge is made with some occasional scrambling required. The ridge narrows nearer the top which is where the scrambling is to be had but then it eventually becomes a flat broad ridge leading up to the summit. The continuation to Toll Creagach is worthwhile and is done by crossing the bealach Toll Easa then following broad grassy slopes to the rounded summit.
