Normally climbed with The Saddle (and the Forcan Ridge),

but why do in one day what you can do in two!

Sgurr na Sgine (over Faochag)

Did I mention this was next to the Saddle?  From the bottom of  Faochag

Looking North East across the road to Sgurr na Ciste Duibhe and the rest of the Five Sisters to the left, and the North Glen Shiel Ridge to the right.

The pit ponys at last.  Halfway up Faochag

And still all that to go to the first top, and not even a Munro!

The view up Loch Duich to Eilean Donan, not quite visible.

The top of Faochag - now I can see the summit of Sgurr na Sgine- looks awfully far!

And looking back to the Glen Shiel valley, got to get back down there too.

A clearer view of the way forward.  Forcan Ridge and the Saddle on the right.

And the obligatory looking back at Faochag from someway along the ridge.

The top of Sgurr na Sgine, looking West to Skye and Knoydart

And North West to the Saddle and Forcan ridge

And finally looking East up the South Glen Shiel Ridge on the left, with Gleouraich in the distance on the right.

And finally a full view of Faochag in silhouette, from the road side on the left to Bealach Coire Mhalagain on the right.  Been there, done that.
