The Cuillin, Bruach na Frithe is one of 3 major peaks on the northern section. Just by Alltdearg House, which is just 600m west of Sligachan take the private road to which bypasses the house. Follow the path along the north western bank of the Allt Dearg Mor towards the Bealach a' Mhaim (this is the pass between Sligachan & Glen Brittle). Then at about 300m and marked by a cairn head into Fionn Choire and head up the north west ridge of Bruach na Frithe onto the summit which is marked with a trig point. Descend via a traverse over Sgurr a' Fionn dropping to Bealach nan Lice (possible crossing point of the Cuillin Ridge between Am Bastier and Sgurr a' Fionn Choire.) where the descent can be made to the north west into Fionn Choire over bolders onto grassy slopes marked with cairns to rejoin ascent route. ]]> 2008-03-29T22:24:20Z 20 Trail Head 50 Waypoint 50 Waypoint 70 Dot 120 Dot 200 Dot 250 Dot 300 Waypoint 310 Waypoint 330 Waypoint 400 Waypoint 470 Waypoint 500 Waypoint 600 Waypoint 700 Waypoint 730 Waypoint 770 Waypoint 850 Waypoint 904 Waypoint 958 Am Bastier and Sgurr a' Fionn Choire. This is by far the most popular ascent. Alternatively the south ridge via Sgurr na Bhairnich gives an exhilarating ascent with short sections of scrambling. The summit is one of the best viewpoints in the Cuillin. Though far from the highest peak in the range, it is the only one to have an Ordnance Survey pillar - probably due to the difficulties of many of the other peaks. Like the rest of the range it is composed of gabbro, a rock with excellent grip for mountaineering.]]> Summit 850 Waypoint 935 Dot 850 Waypoint 840 Waypoint 820 Waypoint 750 Waypoint 700 Waypoint 650 Waypoint 600 Waypoint 500 Waypoint 350 Waypoint 300 Waypoint 250 Dot 200 Dot 120 Dot 70 Dot 50 Waypoint 50 Waypoint 20 Waypoint 20 Trail Head 50 Waypoint 50 Waypoint 70 Dot 120 Dot 200 Dot 250 Dot 300 Waypoint 310 Waypoint 330 Waypoint 400 Waypoint 470 Waypoint 500 Waypoint 600 Waypoint 700 Waypoint 730 Waypoint 770 Waypoint 850 Waypoint 904 Waypoint 958 Am Bastier and Sgurr a' Fionn Choire.
