What are the best mountains to climb in the UK?

In reply to carybarry:

It depends what you mean by best, ie best for walking? Scrambling? Climbing? Views?

But its bound to be one of these-

Liathach
An teallach
Buachaille etive mor
Ben nevis
Snowdon

Cadair is a cracking walk though, I enjoy it much more than snowdon.

Tryfan, the perfect scrambling climb and especially good for novices.
In reply to carybarry:

Skye Cuillin and the mountains on either side of Glen Nevis and Glen Coe.

An Teallach
Suilven

In reply to Rigid Raider: I have to go with Tryfan at the lower end, and Sgurr Nan Gilean at the upper, reputedly the last mountain summited in the UK. though I'm not sure how true that really is.

In reply to carybarry: An Teallach and Liathach seem to consistently come tops in best Scottish mountains only. Definitely add to Cuillin to that too imo. Not a clue about England and Wales though Tryfan N was good..

In reply to carybarry: Kinder scout, it's inspirational jagged edges and difficult gradient will put hairs on yer chest

My Top 10 in terms of visual appeal and a great day out:-

=1st Tryfan, and no one has mentioned that delightful little gem Cnicht

3rd Sgurr Alasdair

4th Sgurr nan Gillian

5th Snowdon (Horseshoe)

6th Liathach

7th Pavey Ark via Jack's Rake

8th Pen y Fan

9th Bowfell

10th Goat Fell (Isle of Aran)

In reply to Trangia:

Fine hills above all of them, but for my money you'd have to add:

Ladhar Bheinn- for the hill and its situation

Round of Loch Mullardoch- for the wildness. Sgurr nan Ceathreamhnan in particular. (2/3 days for a mortal though).

Foinaven

Beinn Dearg

There's four or five decent sized hills of that (or extremely similar) name in Scotland, and they're all good

Hmmm, just thinking that myself!

Hope all is well - perhaps he's just feeling a little peaky <gets coat, shuffles off>... either that, or he's just given up his one-man quest for the correct nomenclature of our beloved area.

Cheers, JW
