Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan

Most people spent lockdown reading, doing DIY, or gardening, but our big achievement was to pretty much complete a spreadsheet detailing our hillwalking through the years, to work out what we've missed. We found that I need to go up another 3 Munros and 2 Tops (in addition to the 6 Munros and 1 top we haven't been up at all), to see the view, S had 1 Top she hadn’t been up, and there was 1 deleted Munro Top neither of us had been up. There appeared to be a weather window between cool, showery days to go and bag a couple of these hills, so we drove up Thursday and stayed outside a friend’s house. They went off to go up a Corbett near Corrour and we drove to Glen Affric to go up Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan. We cycled to the youth hostel, quicker than walking but hard work as the track goes up and down a lot. We then walked up the path to the col between An Socach and Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan before going W up the ridge to the latter. When we went up the hill previously, we went out to Mullach na Dheiragain and then came back through the coire below the east ridge, without going up the East Top. It had once been a Munro Top, but had been deleted in a later revision so wasn’t in our copy of the tables. I had been there twice, but today was S’s first ascent; the blip shows the East Top and Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan. The extras are views on the way up the glen and a similar view on the way down. The warm weather broke as we were cycling back down to the van.

Best on black.
