Mountain Description
|
|
|
The summit of Beinn Eibhinn overlooks Coire a' Charra Mhoir to the E. The summit ridge forms an arc around the corrie connecting to Aonach Beag via a high col at its eastern limit. W of the summit ridge the top broadens then divides ito three ridges running N to Sron an Fhuarain, S to the summit of Meall Glas Choire (924m) and W to Mullach Coire nan Nead (921m). Most slopes have moderate inclines but for those to the S of the summit ridge which are steeper and E of the summit ridge which are craggy.

Geal-Charn [Alder region], Aonach Beag [Alder region] and Beinn Eibhinn
|
A long strenuous route with scrambling and exposure on Sgor Iutharn. Actually it is more of an expedition. From Loch Pattack the route distance is 24 km, ascent 1166 m and time 7h, so cycling will make it possible in one day.

22nd May 2008. We descended from here along the ridge running directly north-west from the summit and east of the district boundary. After passing through the middle of a rocky
tower high on the ridge, the ground drops steeply on loose stones. At the foot of the ridge a line can be taken across heather towards the Allt Cam at 444 766.

Fine curving ascent from bealach below Aonach Beag. Cloud lifting on our return for views. Took our group only 4 hours from Culra Bothy via Lancet edge, excellent ridge traverse and reversed to include Carn dearg.
