Mountain Description
|
|
|
An Teallach is arguably Scotland's most beautiful and is certainly one of its most challenging mountains. The peaks of An Teallach are arranged in a semi-circle around Loch Toll an Lochain. Bidean a' Ghlas Thuill forms the N wall of this corrie and has a long E ridge leading to Glas Mheall Liath from where a descend can be made to Coire' a' Ghiubhsachain with its gently sloping rocks and dramatic escarpment. The N face of this E ridge is craggy and should be avoided. Bidean a' Ghlas Thuill has a short SW ridge that connects to Sgurr Fiona and a steep rocky N ridge that descends to a broad ridge N of Sron a' Choire from where a stalkers path leads to Dundonnell. Bidean a' Ghlas Thuill is a craggy mountain requiring some minor scrambling.

Bidean a' Ghlas Thuill and Sgurr Fiona
|
An Teallach is a Scottish classic. The mountain is spectacular and the route is difficult, especially if you traverse all of the pinnacles. If you by-pass them then it is moderate with some exposure.

One of the great Scottish routes, but not to be taken lightly. This is particularly true in winter, when depending on conditions the traverse of the pinnacles can be extremely difficult and pose a serious challenge to even experienced mountaineers, and requires specialised skills and equipment.

This is without doubt one of Scotlands most beautiful mountains but sadly most of the paths which avoid the scrambling routes are in a poor state. Great care must be taken in poor weather. Pick a good day and the traverse of the complete ridge is an awesome expereience. If you have a head for heights have a sit down on Lord Berkleys seat where the views are magnificent. The traverse can be tackled from either end but the route from Sail Laith is the best.

The munros on this mountain should not be viewed in isolation. This is a very complicated mountain massif in its own right. Munro himself made special comment to this effect and marked a number of lesser tops. Navigation in mist here is always a problem especially when there is an attempt made to out-flank the steep sections. This is not a hill for beginner.
