Mountain Description
|
|
|
Beinn a' Chaorainn has three tops. From the South top (1050m) which is the summit, a broad ridge leads N to the middle top (1049m) thereafter the ridge narrows and continues to the North Top (1044m). From the North Top one ridge runs E then NE to Bealach a Bharnish and a second broader ridge runs NNW then N. A descent of the W slopes of the N ridge leads to a broad bealach which connects to Beinn Teallach at Tom Mor. From the summit a S ridge leads down to Meall Bhaideanach (606m) and a SW ridge to the crags of Meall Clachaig. The normal route of ascent is on the crest of the SW ridge. The W slopes are easy to moderate, whereas the E slopes generally steep and craggy and are best avoided.

After negotiating the forest tracks and 'fire breaks' (there are two to choose from) a soggy ascent was made. The clear skies en-route didn't last long as things started to fall: first the cloud base (so no views from the summits today), the temperature, and then snow; plenty of this on top. Big, big, overhanging cornices to the east which I kept well away from and lots of slipping over rocks thanks to the wet snow. A long descent out of the clouds down the very wet beallach and then back over Beinn Teallach; just over five hours walking and some lovely views towards Loch Treig between showers.
