Details for Beinn a'Chlaidheimh
Beinn a'Chlaidheimh is a north-eastern mountain of the remote Letterewe Forest, situated 3 kilometres north of Sgurr Ban< and is the most north-eastern of the Fisherfield Six< group of munros.
The summit ridge of Beinn a'Chlaidheimh is quite narrow and it's western slopes drop very steeply into Gleann na Muice. It is an elongated mountain with gentler slopes on the eastern side rising to more moderate slopes with rocky outcrops near the summit point where the munro is usually accessed. . To the north of Beinn a' Chlaidheimh there are a series of discontinuous sandstone cliffs that drop steeply to Strath na Sealga.
Usual access is from Corrie Hallie on the north following an estate track through Glen Chaorachain over a featureless ridge dropping to Abhainn Loch an Nid and then ascending the north-eastern slopes of Beinn a'Chlaidheimh upto the summit which is marked by a small cairn. Alternatively an ascent can be made from bealach (650m 2 tiny lochans which can make a useful landmark in bad visibility) between Beinn a' Chlaidheimh and Sgurr Ban< if combining other hills in the area.
It is very important is to recognise the seriousness of the river crossings at Shenavall and Larachantivore. These are big rivers and come up very quickly in times of heavy rain making them totally impassable. If in any doubt at all don't try and cross.
The summit overlooks the beautiful Strath na Sealga which is one of the most remote glens in Scotland. There are also splendid views of An Teallach< to the north.
