Mountain Description
|
|
|
The symmetrical outline of Beinn Dorain, with its slopes rising smoothly to the pointed summit is a familiar site on the road N from Tyndrum. Beinn Dorain is a "Y" shaped mountain with ridges S to Gleann Ach'-innis Chailein, NNW connecting to Beinn an Dothaidh at the col above Coire an Dothaidh, and NE to Meall Garbh turning E to Meall Tionail. Between the the NNW and NE ridges is a high corrie. The usual ascent route is via Coire Dothaidh and the NNW ridge, but an ascent is also possible via the track in Gleann Ach'-innis Chailein to the E and into Coire Ghabachlach to ascend the N face.
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Beinn Dorain include
|
| Steep slopes on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags on or near ascent routes. |
|
| Crags within 1km of 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. |

Bruce- June 2009, in a day which could not make up its mind. Will come back up here for the views missed, in the better weather.

Brilliant day, excellent views and excellent weather. Only downside was the muddiness on the first stage of the walk. Ended up ankle-deep in mud a couple of times! Cameron McNeish describes the views from the summit as disappointing, it certainly wasn't on Saturday.

Here's another one who took the wrong path, seems it is easier to find the wrong path than the correct one, and on a day when visability was very poor, probably just as well I couldnt see what must have been a fairly dramatic drop. Certainly the return by the correct path was very straightforward, will have to do this one again on a better day.

We also took the "wrong" path as previous reviewer Leon Mooney, but found it far more entertaining going that way than getting on the ridge. The views were far superior although i would admit it could be a lot trickier if you encountered bad weather conditions. Fortunately for us the sun chose to shine all day and made for a very enjoyable day out.
