Just arrived at Achnashellach railway station, getting the Brompton ready
The long walk in, the road goes around Sgùrr nan Ceannaichean
Sgùrr a' Chaorachain and Sgùrr Choinich looming in the distance
Seen from Cona Mheallain
Planning the ascent route
I decided to ascend diagonally above the burn with the many waterfalls where it seemed more grassy (and it did turn out that way)
Close up of the slope I ascended
The grass gave welcome support for my hiking poles
The top one of a row of waterfalls along the grassy slope of Sgùrr a' Chaorachain
Sgurr nan Ceannaichean, Moruisg, Carn Gorm and other mountains along Pollan Buidhe
Clearly visible path along the foot of the mountains that I walked till the hollow just right of the middle of the photo, from where I started the ascent of Sgurr a' Chaorachain
Visible on the horizon Fuar Tholl, Beinn Liath Mhòr and Sgurr Dubh and beyond that Beinn Eighe
Maoile Lunndiadh
Bidean an Eòin Deirg and Lochan Gaineamhach
Sgùrr Choinnic
To reach Sgùrr Choinnich first the Bealach Coire Choinnich has to be negotiated
The ridge of Sgurr Choinnich
Contours
The west slope of Sgurr na Combhaire catching the sunlight
Meall Mòr in the background and Loch Monar (invisible) behind the spur
Looking back to Sgùrr a Chaorachain
One hour before the sun would set, time to get down quickly and find a spot to pitch the tent
I pitched my tent in the bealach; Beinn Tharsuinn in the background
Bealach Bhearnais
Just before sunrise
Moonset
Moon above Meall Mòr
Play of clouds forming and dissolving
Sgùrr Chòinnich in early morning
Beinn Tharsuinn
Sgùrr na Feartaig with the stalker's path
Path just left of middle, halfway the mountain
