About Sgorr nam Fiannaidh

Sgòrr nam Fiannaidh stands as the western pinnacle of the renowned Aonach Eagach ridge. Typically, this summit is conquered as part of the iconic and challenging scramble that traverses the entire ridge, including the ascent of Meall Dearg. However, for those who prefer to avoid the more technical scrambling sections, there is an alternative route. This path leads to the bealach, or mountain pass, near the Pap of Glencoe, offering a less daunting yet equally rewarding climb to the summit. The journey provides breathtaking views and a sense of accomplishment, whether you choose the adventurous ridge scramble or the more accessible path.
