Glas Tulaichean

Munro
Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
1051 m (3448 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

  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.

Definitely one to climb after a hard frost! Something extremely satisfying about being able to stand on the same bog which would suck your legs off in the autumn. Lovely friendly staff at the hotel...take a bike if you don't want to pay £2...it's a long walk from Spittal otherwise!

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 :)

Walkers Parking area (free) provided just inside gates of Driveway to Dalmunzie hotel, if you park 1 mile up road at hotel you have to pay at reception. Superb track up ridge after ruined lodge on good gradient to near summit of Glas T. Superb views of Beinn A'Ghlo to the West
