Facility information

A shapeless mass of buttresses and pinnacles, Garbh Bheinn is the most impressive mountain in the quiet, very mountainous western Highland hinterland of Ardgour, south of Glenfinnan and west across the loch from Fort William.

Best route: north-east from Inversanda straight onto the south-east ridge of the mountain, then back through Coire an Iubhair, where a fine view of the north-east crags gives a satisfying view of your conquest.

    Although modest in proportions, this hill's a cracker. Steady ascent up 'the Sron' (Sron a'Gharbh Choire Bhig)from the A861 roadside, with unexpected scrambly bits (which are mainly avoidable if you don't like hands-on-rock)gets you to a grandstand view of the summit crag (not to mention shed-loads of hills, including those of Glencoe, the Mamores, the Ben itself, & if you turn around, Skye, Mull & other isles. A quick drop to the bealach & a stiff pull to the rocky summit. Drop back to the bealach & either head Eastish steeply down into Coire an Iubhair (lots of steep loose scree & then follow the valley bottom to the road) or South & traverse steep heather slopes to meet the road 2 or 3 km W of your start point. Summary, big rocky lump, awesome cliffs, fantastic views.
