Beinn Liath Mhor and Sgurr Ruadh
![]() What a fine path, and cracking morning. Think that is Fuar Tholl ahead, not one I am doing. |
![]() First view of Beinn Liath Mhor. |
![]() Starting to open out, Sgurr Ruadh on the left and Beinn Liath Mhor on the right. And what fantastic paths. |
|
![]() Coire Lair |
![]() Rather precarious path up the side of Beinn Liath Mhor - steep, unrelenting, and a bit scree-y too. |
![]() Sgurr Ruadh |
![]() Top of the really steep bit, looking back down to Achnashellach Station in the trees, where I started. |
![]() To the South East, from the right I think the peaks are Bidein a' Choire Sheasgaich, Lurg Mhor (or Beinn Tharsuinn, Sgurr Choinnich, and Moruisg, but I could be wrong. |
|
![]() And still all this to do. First summit is at the end of the ridge on the right, then need to go round to the munro in the middle before coming down on the left. | |
![]() First top on the ridge |
|
![]() My ridge runs way out there on the left, and in front we can see Liathach(west end/east end) and to it's right Beinn Eighe - Torridon is quite impressive! |

|
![]() Sgurr Ruadh from the top of Beinn Liath Mhor. Looks like a bit of a climb ahead. And I went too low and had to climb back up to the beleach too, which wasn't good. |
|
![]() Maol Chean-dearg from the shoulder of Sgorr Ruadh. |
|
![]() The full ridge of Beinn Liath Mhor |
