Mountain Description
|
|
|
The top of Beinn Achaladair consists of a curved ridge connecting the summit with the South Top (1002m). It is a mountain with fairly steep slopes leading to higher rocky outcrops and crags. From the summit a craggy ridge runs NNE and offers an ascent route (minor scrambling) from the Crannach woods, but the more usual route is the rocky ENE ridge which connects to Meall Buidhe leading to Beinn a' Chreachain. From the South Top the ridge descends S to a broad bealach at the head of Coire Daingean, from where a descent can be made through Coire Achaladair to Achallader Farm. Beinn Manach can also be accessed from the S ridge via the bealach at the head of Gleann Calliche.

Coming down off of Beinn Achaladair via the south ridge to the bealach with Beinn an Dothaidh, in wet conditions, is very treachorous when you duck down into the Coire. It took me almost as long to come down as to go up, what with slipping and sliding on horribly loose topsoil on and around the path. Allow an extra bit of time if its wet.

The waymarked path through Crannoch Woods is very well signposted and the path itself in excellent condition. Following it leads you directly to the easiest route up the North East ridge keeping to the east side of Loch a' Chreachain.

There are signs up at the farm requesting people not to go directly across Crannach wood, but instead to follow the north east edge of the wood down Allt Coire an Lochain to NN359466, and then to follow the NW edge of the wood next to the railway line until the rail bridge. There is a path (which is rather wet in places) which has been waymarked to follow in either direction.
