Mountain Description
|
|
|
Glas Tulaichean is a large complex mountain bounded by Gleann Mor to the N, Glen Lochsie to the S and Gleann Taitneach to the E. The N slopes into Gleann Mhor are moderate to steep but the S slopes have a gentle incline. To the E of the summit three ridges form two corries Glas Choire Bheag and Glas Choire Mhor, with crags and steep slopes close to the summit. To the S are a series of parallel ridges with mostly gentle slopes although there are some steep and craggy slopes the SE. Ascent is normally from Glen Lochsie in the S from where a track leads close to the summit.
|
|
Hazards you may encounter on Glas Tulaichean include
|
| Steep slopes 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. |

Park at the Dalmunzie Hotel (£2 parking). On reflection the ascent up the SE ridge will give better views of the mountain although will be a slog at first until the broad ridge is gained.

Turned up at hotel very early in the winter a few years ago.
Offered to pay my two quid with a 20quid note and got told just to park for free by the staff :)
