Mountain Description
Schiehallion is a long unbranched ridge, lying approximately E to W, with its summit located nearer the W end. The lower slopes are heather clad and the flanks are steep, the S being craggy and the N stony with rock outcrops. Due to its unusual shape, Schiehallion, has one logical route of ascent from the E (where there is a car park) onto the N flank of the ridge then up the crest of the ridge to the summit. Given the good access path and the simple topography Schiehallion is the perfect introduction to hill-walking

A hill I've been wanting to do for ages & well worth the wait today! Easy going on the path in fine sunny/breezy weather, then a couple of pulls up to the snow field around 2500. Then imperious views all around on snow capped Munros with Ben Lawers, Meall na Tarmachan, Ben More/ Stob Binean, Beinn a'Ghlo & Beinn Dearg (Atholl) especially prominent. Even better through hardpacked snow of the boulder-field & a rewarding Arctic-type vista all around with the Buachaille & Aonach Eagach easily visible.

A nice easy walk on a dry but freezing December day on the new path until the boulder fields. There is a path through the boulders but it's easy to lose sight of it, making for some hard work on the ankles. Worth it though, because as I cleared the clouds, a short way into the boulder field I was greeted by sunshine and a spectacular view of surrounding distant peaks nudging their heads through the cloud layer. Lingered at the peak to take some amazing photographs. Wind was light and windchill manageable. Well worth the trip for an amazing first time view of winter hills with minimal snow.

A reasonable climb - the new path is good (although I have not been on the old one, but could see parts of it when looking back). After the first large cairn it was boulder fields all the way, which is not my favourite terrain (my ankles always seem seconds away from breaking). Quite cold at the summit (with a rather small cairn - complete with tartan tie), and on my descent I passed loads of people. Boulder fields must be popular, I guess.
