Mountain Description
|
|
|
From the NW Ben Loyal is seen as 4 rocky peaks which are infact branches of the main ridge that runs N to S. The three more southern side ridges are separated by two hanging corries, each with a lochan. Ins pite of this impressive craggy outline, Ben Loyal is not a difficult hill to climb as its E and S slopes are less steep and mainly crag free apart from the E slopes of the single E ridge. The easiest access is from Ribigill in the N up the E slopes of Sgor Chaonasaid. The highest top is An Caisteal which lies in the middle of the summit ridge but you are recommended to follow the summit ridge to Carn an Tionail in the S. An ascent from the A836 by Loch Loyal in the E is possible but not recommended due to the boggy terrain.
