Tips

December 28, 2022

Hiking

At 3,366 feet (1026 m), Meall Garbh is the second summit on the Tarmachan Ridge if traversing from the east. It's not very prominent but has a brilliant narrow grassy ridgeline which can feel quite airy in bad weather. At the end of the ridge is a scrambly descent, which can be avoided by following a faint path to the right.

Hiking

The ridgeline makes for a nice walk experience. Not very narrow, so even for those with vertigo easily doable.

August 3, 2023

Hiking

Beautiful ridge, but feels tricky when very windy. The descent has a very tricky section at the end. We couldn't find the detour and had to scramble down. Tricky, especially with hard winds. Otherwise extremely beautiful!
