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 :)
