Sgòr Gaoith, from Glen Feshie
Summary
Sgòr Gaoith gives a superb, fairly short hillwalk when approached from Glen Feshie. The ascent passes through some magnificent pinewoods before climbing the bare upper slopes to reach a vast plateau. The summit is extremely dramatic perched on the very edge of the vast broken crags that plunge down to Loch Einich; the views are superb.
Terrain
Excellent constructed approach path; terrain higher up is mostly fairly easy going on short moss, but difficult navigation in poor visibility. Some boulders on the descent via the Geal Chàrn ridge, which is pathless; this can be avoided by instead returning the same way.
Public Transport
None to start.
Start
By Allt Ruadh bridge, east side of Glen Feshie.
