Mountain Description
|
|
|
Easy slopes lead ENE from the bealach, that connects to Craig Pitridh, up a broad ridge to the summit of Geal Charn, and these easy slopes continue SE towards Loch Pattack. These are therefore two usual ascent routes, utilising the path from Loch Pattack to Loch Earba. The N face of Geal Charn has two ridges forming a corrie with craggy slopes. There are also some steep and craggy areas on the lower slopes to be avoided.

A prodigious walk in, much longer than you claim (our GPS reported the round trip described above as 16 miles!) The summit of Geal Charn seemed elusive, four false tops then the cairn at the far end of course. But the walk to Creag Pitridh was very pleasant and a deceptively short climb with great views.
