Mountain Description
|
|
|
Monamenach is the central peak of four in complex arrangement of ridges. The highest ridge runs SW to Craigenloch Hill (738m) then turns S to terminate in steep craggy slopes. Two other ridges run NE to Cairn Doos (629m) then ESE to Creag an Torraidh and SW the S to Creahan Caise (664). The E slopes of both these ridges are steep and Craggy. As a path from Auchavan takes you to the 620m SE col this is the most logical route of ascent

The ascent from Auchavan (limited parking) is easy and quick. A much more satisfying day can be had by continuing over Black Hill and up onto Creag Leachach, across to Glas Maol and then returning via the Monega path over Monega Hill and down to Glen Isla. One Corbett, two Munros and a great day (20 km and 1215m ascent - took me a little over six hours on a blustery winter day).
