Beinn Iutharn Mhor

Beinn Iutharn Mhor


Postby jonnoh » Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:21 pm

I'm planning on doing Beinn Iutharn Mhor next week descending north towards Carn Bhac. I've read several reports on here and am a wee bit concerned about the descent due to the talk of loose scree and the steepness of the terrain.
I was hoping someone might have some tips on the best way to tackle this and perhaps some advice on the best route down - if there is one!

Regards

John

Aye its steep, but not as bad as other descents that I have made.. (like the end of Sail Liath) You'll be fine, there is even a kind of path.. :)
Top tips :- After the first section of scree, head to your left and follow the grassy bit down instead of going through the rocks. Once down the steep bit, keep to the left to avoid the peat hags :thumbup:

Thanks very much for that fella.
That's a great bit of advice that we will bare in mind once up there.
