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.

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).

Beinn Teallach has gentle slopes and a rounded outline to the S and W, with ridges SW and SSW, but steeper craggy slopes to the E and well defined ridges NW and NE. The NW ridge terminates in steep craggy slopes and the NE ridge has a craggy E flank, but easy N slopes, which lead to a broad boggy bealach giving access to Beinn Chaorainn's W slopes. Normal ascent is via the S slopes and the NE ridge.

Coming from Beinn a' Chaorainn it is a straighforward ascent, and even though it is of modest height it still looks and is interesting. The hill is quite rocky, but the majority of the climb is on grassy slopes with more rocky terrain at the top. A descent back to Roughburn was made by first heading south from the summit then south-east to avoid the crags thus picking up the good track next to the Allt a' Chaorainn.
