About Beinn Fhionnlaidh
Beinn Fhionnlaidh presents a unique challenge for Munro enthusiasts due to its remote location on the ridge extending north from Càrn Eige. The formidable Loch Mullardoch lies at the base of this ridge, acting as a natural barrier and making access particularly difficult. As a result, most climbers find themselves having to summit Càrn Eige not once, but twice, in order to reach and return from Beinn Fhionnlaidh. This double ascent adds an extra layer of complexity and effort, making the journey to this peak both demanding and rewarding for those who undertake it.
