Ruadh Stac Mor, A'Mhaighdean, Beinn Tarsuinn, Mullach Coire Mhic Fhearchair, Sgurr Ban & Beinn a'Chlaideimh
| Distance | Ascent | Time |
|---|---|---|
| 43 km/ 26.72 miles | 2940 m/ 9645.67 ft | 16 hours plus |
This route is an exceptionally long tough walk taking in 6 munros in a remote area with a lot of vertical ascent and 2 river crossings. They are the most remote of all the munros & in poor weather they are inaccessible and in the stalking season walkers are discouraged from entering this remote area at all. Climbing these hills in a single outing is a considerable achievement and a real test fitness wise.
The bothy at Shenavall is an excellent base for completing these munros and even from there it's a long journey to complete all six in a single day.
