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
1045 m (3428 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).

Tub Clark and I climbed this Munro on Saturday 10th April, 2010, under beautiful sunny skies. We followed the land rover track for two kilometres beyond the ruin, before heading up the North slopes of Beinn Lutharn Mhor . This was an "interesting" ascent up fairly vertical snow covered scree. The pain was worth it, however, as we were rewarded at the summit with stunning views in all directions. We returned to Invereye down the North East ridge, followed the stream back to the ruin, and finally walked the five miles or so back to our car.

Climbed as part of a round of the Glen Ey hills. Beinn Iutharn Mhor might best be suited to be climbed on it's own if you can cycle down Glen Ey. Otherwise, there is quite a drop from An Socach and the slopes to the west of this Munro towards Carn Bhac are initially very steep and then covered in endless peat hags. We had sunny views for the first two tops but the main summit was one with a compass in hand and heads down into the biting wind. Typical spring weather.
