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
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Schiehallion include
|
| Stony/rocky Slopes on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags near summit. |
|
|
| |
|
General Considerations
|
| Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent. |
|
| Wind usually increases with altitude. |
|
| Visibility can change markedly with cloud level. |
|
| River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day. |

We had the whole mountain to ourselves on the 17th May 2009. We camped out overnight (not at the car-park, that’s not allowed) at the side of the road and were at the summit before 10am. We headed back down to a deserted car park to find all of the roads in the area were closed due to the Caledonian Etive cycle race. We ended up getting a motorcycle escort to Aberfeldy! Woo Hoo!!! Check if you’re going to do this Munro in May, that the roads are open!

Climbed on 6th September 2008. Good fun day out although the weather started out overcast, but the cloud magically blew over by the time we reached the summit. Fantastic views

Top day on 15 June. Mainly sunny but windy enough to keep the temp down. Fantastic views, as always. Could have been faster up, Kyle struggled a bit, but we managed to get down at a decent speed. Met a group of railway workers at the top doing a sponsored walk for CLIMB childrens charity. They'd managed to get around £1,500. Top work Fellas!
