Perhaps the most impressive Munro in Kintail. The summit stands 3,318 feet (1010 m) tall and, on a clear day, the views extend from the Five Sisters on the opposite side of Glen Shiel, to the islands of the Hebrides. It's a rocky summit, with adventurous ridges leading to it – none more so than the classic Forcan Ridge, a grade two scramble.
