Mountain Description
|
|
|
Meall nan Tarmachan is the most easterly of a group of 4 hills, known as the Tarmachan Ridge, and although it is the only Munro, there are two other peaks over 1000m on the ridge. Meall nan Tarmachan has two peaks, the smaller (923m) SE peak being separated from the summit by the crags on Cam Chreag through which the ascent path travels necessitating a minor scramble. A second, long, ridge runs N to Creag an Lochain and forms the W shore of Lochan nan Lairige. A third ridge SW connects to Meall Garbh and the other members of the Tarmachan Ridge. The terrain is generally easy to moderate grass slopes but with many crags requiring careful navigation. Traverse of the ridge requires further easy scrambling.

Navigation no problem in good conditions. Path to summit and along Tarmachan ridge. Beautiful walk

Take care on the scramble west of Meall Garbh in wet conditions. This is a great walk!

Climbed as part of a traverse of the Tarmachan Ridge encompassing this, Meall Garbh, Beinn nan Eachan and Creag na Callich. A wet, cloudy afternoon with poor visibility that lasted until the descent from the way-too-much-fun knife-edge just beyond Meall Garbh. On the last two peaks the weather improved and we were treated to wondrous cloudscapes and views over to the Crianlarich hills, Ben Vorlich and Stuc a' Chroin by Loch Earn, and various imposing hulks to the north. A compelling, utterly wonderous walk that never ceased to intrigue and entertain. Five stars.
