Druim nan Cnamh (Beinn Loinne)

Corbett

Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
790 m (2591 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

 Description
Beinn Loinne is the prominent ridge on the S side of Loch Cluanie and can be accessed from either end of the loch. The highest top of Beinn Loinne is the W top at 789m and not that labelled as Beinn Loinne on the map which is 775m.

Beinn Loinne has steep, craggy N slopes whereas there are easier inclines and fewer crags to the S. The SE slopes of this hill has crags, which can be bypassed by going S over Meall Coire na Creadha.

Hazards you may encounter on Druim nan Cnamh include
 Steep slopes on or near ascent routes.
 Crags on or near ascent routes.
 Crags near summit.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
 Wind usually increases with altitude.
 Visibility can change markedly with cloud level.
 River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day.
