An Teallach (Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill, Sgurr Fiona)

Route up An Teallach which is arguably the most impressive mountain range on mainland Britain avoiding the pinnacled twisting eastern ridge. This is the shorter of the popular ascent routes from Dundonnall and avoids the main difficulties by returning the down into Glass Tholl.

Starting a few hundred metres to the east of the hotel take the path up the north eastern ridge of Meall Garbh following the path into the corrie and then climb steeply onto the top Sròn a Choire (863m) NH06638514 . From this top climb onto Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill which is the highest peak of An Teallach. From here it's a steep easy decent followed by re-ascent of a 1km south-western rocky ridge which leads to Sgurr Fiona.

Return by heading back along the ridge over Bidein a'Ghlas Thuill and descend around NH07098491 where from here head very steeply east into Glas Tholl. Head carefully down this steep corrie along northern banks of the Allt a'Ghlas Thuill right down to the Garbh Allt waterfalls where a better path is joined which is very overgrown in places. Once the road is reached head back to Dundonnell.

The views over to the remote Fisherfield wilderness to the south-west are great and gives you a good look at the so called Fisherfield Six Hills.
