Sgor Gaoith

Sgor Gaoith gives a superb, fairly short hillwalk. The ascent passes through some magnificent pinewoods before climbing the bare upper slopes to reach a vast plateau. The summit is extremely dramatic, with the cairn perched on the very edge of the vast broken crags that plunge down to Loch Einich; the views are superb.Terrain - Excellent constructed approach path; terrain higher up is mostly fairly easy going on short moss. Some boulders on the Geal Charn ridge.Grade 4Distance 14km (8.7 miles)Ascent 990m (3248ft)
