An Teallach is a Scottish classic. The mountain is spectacular and the route is difficult, especially if you traverse all of the pinnacles. If you by-pass them then it is moderate with some exposure.

Head to: Ullapool
From Ullapool (A835) travel S 20km to junction. Turn right onto A832 for Gairloch and travel 18km to Corrie Hallie. This is the point where the long descent round Carn a' Bhreabadair levels out.

Climbed up from Shenavall bothy after doing the big 6 the previous day. Fantastic ridge really enjoyed it, despite the low cloud. Plenty holds & very grippy rock for climbing on the pinnacles, just take your time and you'll have no problems. Met a nice chap who had emigrated to Germany. After the Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill both of us climbed Glas Mheall Mor. Watch your bearings back to the bealach in low cloud. There is a path from the bealach which vanishes in the valley and re appears further down as per the map

Excellent route with stunning scenery. The climb up to Sail Liath is hard going but worth it as the views begin to open up. The descent route could be still choked with snow in May so better have a back up plan.

A fantastic day on the hills. Exposure does not seem too bad on the paths around the pinnacles. Views of the mountian are ever changing and ever more impressive as you traverse from Sail Laith to Bidean a Ghlas Thuill.

Arguably my most enjoyable day out so far in 90+ Munros, the view from the top of Sgurr Fiona (climbed after Bidean a Ghlas Thuill on the route we used) alone made the day worthwhile. We even went back over Bidean a Ghlas Thuill just for the sake of it rather than contour round, once is never enough!

One of the most popular mountains in Britain, An Teallach combines the excitiement of an exposed airy ridge and impressive cliffs with a true wilderness location on the edge of the Fisherfield Forest. The entire ridge is highly reccomended, so to peering over the top of Lord Berkely's seat and it is not too hard and all the difficulties can be bypassed. Doing just the two munro's and not the ridge would still make a superb day out with fantastic views.
