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.
