Mountain Description
|
|
|
An Teallach is arguably Scotland's most beautiful and one of its most challenging mountains. The peaks of An Teallach are arranged in a semi-circle around Loch Toll an Lochain. Sgurr Fiona lies to the NNW of the beautiful and challenging pinnacled ridge which includes Corrag Bhuide and Lord Berkely's Seat. Ascent routes are either from the col to Bidean a Ghlas Thuill (to the N) or via Corrag Bhuide from Sail Liath (to the SE). This is a serious mountain for scramblers and those with a head for exposure. The rock is largely red sandstone, which erodes to form smooth outlines with few cracks to provide hand or foot holds.Some of the scrambling can be bypassed but lower down and on sometimes exposed paths.

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.

Super hill full of interest - warrants good weather, a full investigation and a camera. Feral goats in Toll an Lochain. Scrambling average except for end of Corraig Bhuidhe but by-pass path with care sandstone weathered to strange shapes and changes abruptly to white quartzite on glas mheall liath which is a superb approach route.
So interesting, finally arrived back at Dundonnel by torch at 12.30 am!

Completed the round of An Teallach in 9 hours in high winds and no visibility- PICK A GOOD DAY! The Munros book says 5.5 hrs for this walk; don't be fooled, this is a long day and in poor visibility navigation can be difficult as there are many spurs which lead you out onto precipitous drops. The jewel of this mountain is undoubtably the pinnacles and LB's seat but we never even saw them, much less traversed, in the weather. Come off Bidean via Glas Thol and experience the stunning amphitheatre which it is. Also, ensure you stand on the chock stone for mandatory photo. A good day though.
