Atmospheric day up on The Five Sister of Kintail ridge with John. Spent much of the time on the ridge in the clouds, though there were clear patches earlier on. Ground was very wet and the resulting mixture of mud and wet slabby rock made for a slippery ridge walk. We had cars at both ends, but John left his car keys in my car (whoops), so we managed to blag a lift from kind stranger at the Jac-o-bite back up to my car. | mproudfoot | 11/10/2020 |

Partly with a friend. Frustrating day. Wanted to traverse some of Five Sisters of Kintail by starting SE end of Loch Shiel and going as far as Bealach an Làpain. At SE end of Loch Shiel there was a bridge marked on the map across the river, but when we got to it we realised it was too dilapidated and dangerous to use. We then went to Shiel Bridge. We agreed to go separately to Sgùrr Fhuaran. I thought I would climb over Sgùrr an t-Searraich. However, I met thick bracken and brambles and so retreated, wasting 50 minutes. I went SE for a little way and then climbed up towards Sgùrr an t-Searraich, contoured below its summit to reach the col with Beinn Bhuidhe. I went up the WNW ridge of Beinn Bhuidhe, passing over a minor top. I reached the summit of Beinn Bhuidhe, continuing to Sgùrr nan Saighead and Sgùrr Fhuaran. | pwbellarby | 17/08/2007 |
