An excellent, long day with Keith Gault from Hillways and fellow client Jennifer. We started from the Cluanie Inn, heading up the stalkers path behind the hotel onto Druim Shionnach (3,238'), the second peak in the chain. We then headed to the easternmost peak, Creag a Mhaim (3,107')and proceeded to tackle the ridge from east to west. The ridge is a mixture of grass, with rocky outcrops, and consists of 7 Munros - the 2 above - Aonach air Chrith (3,350'), Maol Chinn-dearg (3,218'), Sgurr an Doire Leathain (3,314'), Sgurr an Lochain (3,294'), and Creag nan Damh (3,012'). The views from the western end of the ridge, in fine weather, were stunning over the coast, with the Cuillin ridge, Knoydart and Loch Quoich round to Ben Nevis, and, to the north, Torridon and the Mullardoch Hills. Five new Munros out of 7 gives a total of 80. Photos to follow. Also see Keith's excellent write-up at http://hillways.blogspot.co.uk.
