The mountains of Rum seen across the Sound of Rum from Laig Bay on the Isle of Eigg. Left to right: Sgurr nan Gillean, an un-named top, Ainshval, Trallval, Barkeval, Askival and Hallival.
Ainshval and Askival, Rums two Corbetts, sit facing each other across Glen Dibidil with their smaller sister Trollaval (702m) sitting at the head of the glen. From Barkeval in the N to Sgurr nan Gillean in the S, the hills are connected by a long snaking ridge offering an excellent and occassionally challenging ridge walk. The on this ridge, the peaks are steep and craggy and involve a degree of scrambling, especially Trollaval (which can be bypassed). The ascent of Ainshval from Bealach an Fhuarain is steep and rocky.
A long route in beautiful hills, with some steep ascents/descents and narrow ridges. Scrambling pitches can generally be bypassed as can the ascent of Trollaval. Ainshval rocks can be bypassed on scree.
