An Teallach
One of Scotland's most spectacular ridges, with sandstone peaks forming a jagged crest, and a classic Munro traverse for mountaineers.
An Teallach lies between Ullapool and Dundonnell, south of Ullapool, between Little Loch Broom and Dundonnell. Its main summit, Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill, stands at 1,062 metres and is connected to Sgùrr Fiòna, both Munros. Its jagged peaks form a steep knife-edge ridge, widely regarded as one of Britain's most spectacular ridge traverses. From Dundonnell, climbing the two Munros and returning takes about 8 to 10 hours. A full traverse requires climbing skills, but ordinary visitors can walk to the Coire Toll an Lochain corrie lochan at the foot of the mountain (about 5 hours round trip) to enjoy the mountain's scenery. Note that the ridge is very exposed, and it is easy to get lost in fog. Always go with a companion and carry a map and compass.
