Mountain Description
Creag Rainich is a mountain of varied terrain. The route from the A832 to Loch a' Bhraoin leads you up easy slopes with no signs of crags, but the W and some N slopes are steep and rocky making for more challenging ascents. Creag Rainich consists of a ridge running N-S with very steep W slopes down to Loch an Nid. The summit rises close to the middle of this ridge. There are two other ridges running ENE and parallel to each other. The shorter runs from the summit and the longer from the subsidiary top, Meall Dubh (748m), to terminate in Meall an t-Sithe overlooking the road. This longer ridge is the normal ascent route.
