A gully access point to and from the mighty An Teallach Ridge of 10 peaks with the wonderful Corrie Loch of Loch Toll an Lochain 3,000 feet below the summit, Wester Ross, Scotland.
Commentary. We set off from Dundonnell at 08:30. Climbing over ancient metamorphic foothills we reached 500 feet at Loch Toll an Lochain. A deep cleft or gully was a clear route to the mighty arêtes of An Teallach. We reached the knife-edge, after a very steep climb, just north of Stob Cadha Gobhlach at 960 metres. Edging along the stepped Old Red Sandstone and heading north-west we reached Corrag Bhuidhe, 1,049 metres. Down to a coll and up to the aptly named “Lord Berkeley’s Seat,” 1,030 metres. Again, descend to a coll and up to Sgurr Fiona at 1,060 metres. Then a mighty descent before the final climb to Bidein à Ghlas Thuill, the highest point at 1,062 metres. Describing the route belies constant view distraction. We sat many times just to look, take refreshments and take photographs. The views north, east, south and west are momentous. From Ben Wyvis in the east to Coigach and The Summer Isles in the north-west. From the Torridon Mountains in the south-west to the monoliths of Sutherland in the north. This mountain is truly magnificent, and all the time, sheer drops of 3,000 feet, to Loch Toll an Lochain and Loch na Sealga. We returned to basecamp by 18:30, but, what a day!

One of ten awesome peaks that make up the iconic mountain, An Teallach, in Wester Ross.
Commentary. Ten “Munro” tops in one ridge, in one mountain. Glacially scoured foothills and corrie lakes lead to a ridge of exquisite views, inland, and along the Wester Ross and Sutherland seaboard. Perhaps, only the Black Cuillins of Skye can equal the pure magnificence of this single mountain ridge. A favourite of many who see it, and even more, who venture to climb it.

From the summit of An Teallach, 1,062 metres, a spectacular view of Sail Mhor (rounded) 767 metres, the remote Scoraig Peninsula, the Summer Isles and the Coigach coast, 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!

Beinn Dearg Mor, 906 metres, and Loch na Sealga from Sgurr Fiona, 1,060 metres, one of the ten peaks making up the mighty An Teallach, Wester Ross, Scotland.
Commentary. The south slopes of An Teallach, from where this image is taken are known as Strathnasheallag Forest. No trees. “Forest” refers to hunting land, mainly Red Deer. South is Beinn Dearg Mor. Beyond, are the mountains of Fisherfield and Letterewe Forests, towards the mercurial, island-strewn, Loch Maree. Sgùrr Fiona at 1,060 metres is the second highest of An Teallach’s ten spectacular peaks. Having trekked the whole ridge, and a mere fifty other peaks in Scotland, so far, An Teallach has proved to be the most awesome, magnificent and dramatic of all. The views down the north face to Loch Toll an Lochan, a corrie over 3,000 feet below, are momentous, to the nth. degree.

We had just descended from this rugged peak, one of ten that make up the magnificent mountain called An Teallach, Wester Ross, Scotland. Don't fall, it is nigh on 3000 feet to the lochan below.
Commentary. Ten “Munro” tops in one ridge, in one mountain. Glacially scoured foothills and corrie lakes lead to a ridge of exquisite views, inland, and along the Wester Ross and Sutherland seaboard. Perhaps, only the Black Cuillins of Skye can equal the pure magnificence of this single mountain ridge. A favourite of many who see it, and even more, who venture to climb it.
