Ruadh Stac Mor (left) and A Mhaighdean seen from the excellent stalkers' path north of Lochan Feith Mhic'-illean. It's a long track but the going's a lot quicker than trackless short cuts.

Notes

Long strenuous route to two remote craggy mountains. There are routes between the crags so the need for scrambling is reduced. Cycling will shorten the time, but still a very long day.
