 Up into the corrie, with no obvious way onto the ridge yet apparent. |
 And looking back down to the car. Quite a steep ascent. |
I was beginning to doubt if there was a way up, though seeing two guys in front gave me some comfort.
The back of Beinn Liath Mhor round to Sgorr Ruadh
Impressive cliffs, still not found the path on the left, but there is one to the right of that cleft
Well a path of sorts. A good wee scrambly bit.
Now this is good. Spidean a'Choire Leith is the furthest away one, and the route goes over the other two (of course).
 Still a long away down! |
 And North to Beinn Eighe. At the ridge at last. |
So now just a gentle stroll along the ridge.
 Managed to pass the other two, though they soon caught up when the ridge narrowed. |
 Final ascent, looks reasonably safe? |
And looking back
over the ridge so far, with Beinn Eighe now impressive behind.
And from the top - looking at the Liathach ridge in all its glory, with Mullach an Rathain at the far end. Given what I had just done I decided heading back, and having tea and a bath was the sensible option, rather than risk the exposed ridge, which is supposedly quite airy and exhilarating!
Summit cairn, with
Beinn Eighe behind.
So next the easy option, back along the ridge on the left, then descend to the right. What could be easier?
Another look at the ridge, as the other two decided to give it a go.
To the right of Liathach you could just make out Beinn Alligin, another fine walk.
And another view of
Beinn Eighe - this is a smashing part of the hillwalkers world.
But back to the route in hand - this was steeper than it looked, but I think it was safe enough?
And once off the ridge I stopped for one last picture of this Torridon beauty. Maybe next time I will do the ridge too?
And then it was back down the hill, the long drive back home, and that bath. Great to be out on the hills again though, bring on some more.
