Mountain Description
Beinn an Oir is central of the three highest peaks in the paps of Jura and the only peak of sufficient height to be included in the Corbetts. The other main peaks are Beinn Shiantaidh (757m) to the E and Beinn a' Chaolais (733m) to the SW. Either or both of these peaks can be climbed with Beinn an Oir, but it will make for a long day. Beinn an Oir is a compact steep craggy and boulder strewn hill, yet the ascent is facilitated by a transverse grassy tract running from SE base to the N end of the summit ridge, this avoids the worst of the boulders.
