In reality some Munro Tops can be disappointing, such as Meall Garbh where we were with the Club as part of the Chno Dearg walk last weekend. Others however are vastly more interesting, so I thought I would post a few pictures of Sgor Iutharn which I climbed the following day. The classic route is up "The Lancet Edge" from the direction of Culra bothy. It's a pretty steep ascent to the summit of this hill (1028m) and at first there are no real difficulties but nearer the summit there's a bit of exposure particularly on the right where the cliffs seem to fall straight down to Loch an Sgoir , and some slabby rocks to clamber over. On Monday there was still a bit of residual snow, so care was required.
The photos show a general view of the hill, the part near the summit, and a view from that point looking back down the Lancet Edge. You can climb this hill from other directions, but I'm sure Andrew G would agree with me that this is the route of choice !
