What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning we will car share around to the start point for this hike, if you have completed the 3 brothers of kintail you will have already made the same ascent onto the ridge line.
A steep pull up with no rest bite until we reach the bealach , this warms up the lungs and legs ready for the day ahead. Before our first Munro, Sgurr Na Ciste Duibhe we have a Munro Top to get over and the descent from this requires a steep down scramble/ climb.
Now our first Munro is achieved our next summits come a bit easier, descending and reascending over more rocky terrain to reach Sgurr nan Carnach & Sgurr Fhuaran our second and third Munro.
Descending Sgurr Fhuaran we still have a short ascent to make as we pull up way up the final summit ,Sgurr nan Saighead a Munro tops where we can traverse under the summit to continue on our hike and start to descend off hill and back to the meet point from the morning . The walk out from here can feel rather tiring after a strenuous day covering lots of rocky and steep terrain.
Once back at the start point we will get the morning drive back up to their cars.
Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking
