Itinerary description
|
Circular route through the Cuillin mountains starting from a small parking lot next to the road that dies in Glenbrittle. We climb a well-laid path to a flat where a lake with unpronounceable name. We overcome it and continue on the slope until we reach the buttress that closes the circus where the Coire loch is located in a very alpine environment (it could well be a Pyrenean ibon). We reach the bottom of the circus and here begins a painful climb by a small and very steep stone pitch to win the hill. From here the idea was to make the Sgurr Dearg but the overhead meteo did not accompany (very closed fog). The little we could see a moment that opened, was a sharp edge but passable (no need to be sure) very attractive. A shame.
The route does not present difficulty until the final ascent to the hill begins (quite painful). The descent is done well with a firm step and allowing the boots to slip between the quarry. About 11 km, 850 m altitude and about 3 h without stops. With clear weather the views are spectacular with the sea in the background) Enjoy it.
