Though somewhat overshadowed by the celebrity peaks of Coulin to the north and the famously remote Monar Munros in the wilds to its south, Sgurr na Feartaig is a tremendous hill in its own right, an extended ridge with steep northern corries and impressive views of its better known neighbours. While often combined with next-door Beinn Tharsuinn in a double-Corbett day, the full traverse of the Feartaig ridge (probably minus Tharsuinn for most) seems a more logical and aesthetic route.

It's a great hill.

We took an alternative descent - a wider loop west via Loch nan Gobhar, Loch nan Cabar, Creag nan Eilein and then the path into Golden Valley.

Creag nan Eilein sits opposite Coire Lair for a great view.

Aye, an undervalued hill, which probably has great views, but not on any of the three times I've visited it...

We always did the route the other way around, on our annual winter week to the area, but this was basically so we could plod up a snow gully in the corrie just west of the descent. Also gets the 4km forest track plod out of the way early (= whilst still hungover in my youth)

Not done it for years, might have to fix that next winter.
