Beinn Maol Chaluim
| After a good
nights sleep on the other side of the glen I headed down the road
to do this one. |
Out of the woods, another lovely day. |
Reasonable track some of the way up. |

![]() The col at the head of Gleann Fhaolain, with the back of Bidean Nam Bian that I attempted on the right. |
![]() Looking back from near the top of the col. |
![]() And the final ascent to the summit |
![]() Mair hills. |
![]() And part way up Bidean Nam Bian, before I turned back, to the North, Glen Coe, Loch Leven, and on the left Beinn a' Bheithir |
Got a good bit up, and a view of Beinn Maol Chaluim |
![]() Glen Coe and Bidean nam Bain. Doesn't look so steep from here. |
![]() Summit cairns, with a great view of Ben Starav on the left, Loch Etive, Beinn Trilleachan, Creach Bheinn (two Corbetts for another day), round to Beinn Sgulaird - so many hills. |
![]() And more Glen Coe and Bidean nam Bain |
![]() And from the right, Loch Etive, Ben Starav, and the other hills over that way. |
Looking up Glen Etive, yesterday's hill (Beinn Mhic Chasgaig in the shadows of Creise) |
![]() View back along the ridge of Beinn Maol Chaluim, with that Bidean nam Bain on the right again. |
![]() Similar picture from ten minutes further along the ridge. |
![]() Better view of yesterday's hill (Beinn Mhic Chasgaig), under Creise, to the right, with Buchalile Etive Mor to the middle, and Buchaille Beag to the left of that. |
Interesting descent from the ridge. |
Final Loch Etive view |
