Toll Creagach

Munro

Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
1054 m (3458 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Mountain names are usually in Gaelic, the native language of the Scottish Highlands, or have been derived from the old Scots and Norse languages. We give the most commonly accepted meaning, but accept that some of these are disputed.

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

 Description
Toll Creagach lies at the E end of a range of mountains, and its sprawling mass has mostly easy to moderate slopes.

From the summit five broad ridges run E, SSE to Beinn Eun leading down to Glen Affric, WSW to Bealach Toll Easa where it connects to Tom a' Choinich, NW to Creag Dubh overlooking Loch Mullardoch and NE to Creag a' Baca overlooking Glen Cannich.

An ascent from Glen Cannich is possible but ascents from Glen Affric via the SSW and WSW ridges are easier.

Hazards you may encounter on Toll Creagach include
 Crags within 1km of summit.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.

An ascent via Tom a' Choinich, crossing over the Bealach Toll Easa is very straightforward, there is a bit of distance between the two mountains but the walking is easy on broad grassy slopes. The summit is fairly rounded with good views in all directions. Its best I think to descend directly south thus avoiding any crags and deep burns lower down. Its then a pleasant walk back out of Gleann nam Fiadh.
