    Splitting the high summits of Streap and SgĂčrr Thuilm, Bealach a'Chaorainn is a 1,545-foot (471 m) pass that forms part of the Cape Wrath Trail. The ground is steep to the north-east of the pass, though gradients soon ease to reveal potential camping spots.

      Although there is no path on either side, the pass does not present a great difficulty. If you want to camp, it is best to use the opportunity, there are a few suitable spots on the pass.

        Beautiful views across the valleys. The way from the north (from Loch Arkaig) is more slippery and difficult to go than the ways on the other sides.
