Mountain Description
|
|
|
Like the Cobbler across Glen Croe, the Brack is a rugged rocky hill. The Brack has three ridges, N , SW and the main ridge which runs E to a second top Cruach Fhiarach (643m). It can be accessed from Glen Croe to the N via the N ridge or Coilessan Glen to the S via the SW ridge. The lower slopes are forested and the initial approach is via forest tracks. It is sufficiently close Ben Donich for them both to be taken in day.

After doing Ben Donich, I headed south-east to the bealach, and was surprised at how quickly I managed this. Passed through a gate in the fence and started up north slopes of The Brack. The ascent is an unrelenting slog, and the absence of any path on this side meant that I initially overshot the summit. The descent was easier than I expected and I headed down to the forest road and back to my car having finished my final two of the six Arrochar Corbetts.
