Isle of Rum Sandy Corrie

[lochlaggan]

I've just arrived back from two glorious days on the Isle of Rum and chilly overnight stay at Dibidil bothy, which was magic. This time of year the island was deserted with only 4 overnight visitors on the island and one being the lovely school teacher.

So I tried to climb Ainshval from the bothy and turned back around 520m when things got too steep for me on the south ridge. Yes I could climb from the Atlantic Corrie and up the north ridge but I dont fancy that standard steep route so the Sandy Corrie?

Has anyone gone up from Harris or down as it looks more inviting to me and could tie in with an overnight camp on the lovely beach..

Thanks

Last year I met a group of walkers on Trollabhal. They were led by a guide who was with Steven Fallon’s group. They were then going over Ainshval then over Sgurr nan Gilean to get back to their tents at Harris. They had an online blog (note the "young chap" wasn't me).

Thanks Rockhopper but it wasn't Sandy Corrie the way they came down.

Still and interesting link though.

Cheers
