Beinn Sgritheall 18 Sept 2020

Another stunning day of West Highland weather, "day off" from Skye today so I headed to Arnisdale via Glenelg. A steep and slightly boggy ascent led to another unrelentingly steep pull, up onto the eastern end of the summit ridge of Beinn Sgritheall. Spectacular views as I headed west along the ridge to the summit itself at 3,195'. a superb panorama ( described by Sir Hugh Munro himself as the best from any of his peaks) from this isolated summit, from Skye, the Cuillin and the Inner Hebrides round to Torridon, Glen Shiel, and the Ben to the southeast. Loch Hourn was spread out below me and sparkling in the sunlight with the Knoydart peaks rising to Ladhar Bheinn itself. The descent was also steep but through superb oak forest. A brilliant day, Munro #256.
