s3706 3706 anteallach munro dundonnell 52290696658

Glas Mheall Mor, 979 metres, from Bidean a Ghlas Thuill, 1,062 metres, the higheat peak of ten. North view over Strath Beag (Dundonnell) and part of the Scoraig Peninsula to the hills beyond and above Loch Broom and Ullapool, Wester Ross, Scotland.

Commentary. 1,062 metre view from Bidein a ‘ Ghlas Thuill, one of ten tops making up the mighty AnTeallach. A soft light blends moorland, mountain, sea-loch, peninsulas, headlands, Summer Isles and sky, looking north-west to the Atlantic, beyond. The views down to the corrie-lake, Loch Toll an Lochain, and along the fiercely serrated ridge, are grandeur personified. A variety of directions feasts our eyes on the Sutherland monoliths, Sgurr Mor, Ben Wyvis, Slioch, the peaks of Fisherfield and Letterewe Forests and as far as the Torridon Range. Sensational! For many reasons An Teallach is my favourite Scottish mountain!

6 of the 10 tops that make this traverse spectacular. Mercurial and iconic mountain, An Teallach, Wester Ross, North-West Highlands.

Commentary. What a mountain! One horseshoe ridge around Loch Toll an Lochain, made up of ten tops or sub-peaks. Torridonian Sandstone over 500 million years old on a base of Lewisian Gneiss up to 3 billion years in age. North and south of the ridge, the slopes plunge precipitously, 3,000 feet, to corries and lochs like Loch na Sealga. Here, from the highest point, Bidean á Ghlas Thuill, 1,062 metres (3,484 feet) we look back at the serrated arête we have just traversed. The views in all directions are stupendous. West, we can see Gruinard Bay and the Scoraig Peninsula. North-West is the Summer Isles and Coigach. North are the monoliths of Assynt in Sutherland. East, Ben Wyvis (1,047 metres.) South-East, Sgùrr Mor (1,110 metres) and the mountains of Affric and South, the Torridon Range and the Cuillins of Skye. Probably, the most dramatic and impressive mountain in Britain.
