Mountain Description
|
|
|
Sgurr na Ciche is a remote mountain at the the head of Glen Dessarry separated from Garbh Choich Mhor by Bealach na h-Eangair. In fact its nearest neighbour, the Corbett Ben Aden, is normally climbed from Barrisdale with the Kyoydart mountains. Sgurr na Ciche is a very craggy mountain and the ascent from Bealach na h-Eangair requires you to follow the faint path left by others or select a safe path through rocky outrcops to the summit. Sgurr na Ciche has a long ridge SW which can be used as a route to Sourlies Bothy if you plan to stay over.

Started at Sgurr Mor, crossed bealach just above Lodge dropped down to the stream, easily crossed and then up grassy slope to the bealach between Sgur Beag and Sgurr Mor not difficult, don't know why they suggest contouring round to the left, took me 3.5hrs. Then Sgurr Beag, An Eag and on to Sgurr nan Coireachan and then as described elsewhere. Is a long walk out. Whole walk took me 11 hours in good conditions

A quite excellent ridge walk and a fine day out. We began with Sgurr na Ciche which was quite a walk in and included an interesting ascent via a rocky gorge. The walk over the 3 munro's is very rocky and undulating but always enjoyable and the views are sublime. Although demanding we opted to continue to Sgurr Mor which really tests the endurance levels. Then of course you have a long walk back to Glen Dessary, the route over the 4 peaks took approx. 10.5 hours.

Done on a misty rainy day, be careful of the gorge drop from Sgurr na Ciche...it makes Clachaig gully seem like a stroll...but it is breathtaking.
