Beinn Iaruinn and Leana Mhor, Glen Roy

Beinn Iaruinn rises very steeply above the rollercoaster road up Glen Roy, with the northern arm of its corrie being the most usual route of ascent. Combining the hill with neighbouring Leana Mòr , however, makes for a more enjoyable walk avoiding the steepest slopes.
