Mullach an Rathain

One end of the Liathach ridge.  Not sure I want to do the ridge itself!

Found a good path up the first two thirds of the hill, almost free of cloud when I started off around 2:30

View down Upper Loch Torridon as the trail started to climb.

The upper corrie - made good progress until I hit the scree up ahead

Part way up the scree, looking back down to the upper corrie, and the road down in Glen Torridon.  Quite a steep bit!

Reached the ridge at last, just a final push and we are there.

From the summit to an even scarier top

Not looking forward to this descent, but it was actually easier than coming up

Safely down, looking back up

Nice view of the South side of Glen Torridon, the three highest peaks in the middle/right must be Maol Chean-dearg, Sgorr Ruadh and Beinn Liath Mhor

Just been to the top of that.  Fun.

View of Beinn Alligin that I did in the morning, from the road home

And a rather splendid look at Mullach an Rathain that I did in the afternoon.  Pub.
