This is a classic route on one of Scotland's greatest peaks taking in to munros. Liathach the Grey One situated in the picturesque Glen Torridon is a fortress defended against any assault from almost every direction. The path up looks almost unclimbable and those who manage to find a way up will discover a couple of munros separated by a narrow ridge (famous Am Fasarinen pinnacles) that have drops of 3000 feet either side. Good scrambling skills, a head for heights & a bit of experience is required for this outings. Guides are available in Torridon.
