About An Socach
An Socach stands as a remarkably secluded Munro, nestled at the far reaches of Glen Affric. Essentially, it marks the eastern end of the east ridge of Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan. While many adventurers choose to pair its ascent with that of Sgùrr nan Ceathreamhnan, An Socach can also be tackled as a standalone challenge. For those opting to climb it solo, be prepared for a lengthy and rewarding journey starting from the road's end in Glen Affric. The trek offers a true sense of isolation and the opportunity to immerse oneself in the rugged beauty of the Scottish Highlands.
