Mountain Description
|
|
|
Askival and Ainshval, Rum's two Corbetts, sit facing each other across Glen Dibidil with their smaller sister Trollaval (702m) sitting at the head of the glen. From Barkeval in the N to Sgurr nan Gillean in the S, the hills are connected by a long snaking ridge offering an excellent and occasionally challenging ridge walk. The on this ridge, the peaks are steep and craggy and involve a degree of scrambling, especially if the plan is to continue E over Trollaval (which can be by passed) and Ainshval.
