Mountain Description
|
|
|
Am Bodach in the heart of the Mamores is part of the "Ring of Steall" which runs from An Gearanach to Sgurr a' Mhaim. The summit of Am Bodach lies close to the ridge walk that connects Stob Coire a Chairn (NE ridge) to Sgorr an Iubhair (WNW ridge). A third ridge SSE leads down to Sgorr an Fhuarain whose steep slopes overlook Kinlochleven. The triangular summit has steep slopes, the E slopes being craggy, and the W and N being slopes boulder and scree. This mountain is surrounded by paths and the normal access is an easy scramble from the path on its N slopes.

Best day out yet! Completed the Ring with Steve, Marty & Chris. Felt great all day! Hard to get lost on this one...The falls of Steall are immense and the wire bridge was fun (not so much fun on the way back I might add!). The route up to An Gearanach was steep but pathed. Actually walked past the summit, realised after the GPS sorted us out. Nice scramble down and then back up to Stob Coire a Chairn. Then onto ridge to Am Bodach.
Topped Sgurr a Lubhair (Ghost Munro - doesnt count). Then the best bit...Devil's Ridge. Excellent scramble and add the Difficult Step (try doing this with your mates egging you on!). Summit Sgurr a Mhaim and be extremely careful descending! There is a route down but the start point is crucial and where to turn off. Too far West and you hit the Falls of Steall. Too far east and you have a very steep vertical drop. Proceed with care. Great day
out! - Classic.
