A wonderful hill that will reward in all weathers - but you do get the best views if the weather is good! Personally I have found the clockwise circuit better, but in either direction care is needed over the Horns.

This is the famous, classic, view of An Teallach as seen from it's summit Bidein a' Ghlas Thuil. This view across to Sgurr Fiona and the Corrag Bhuidhe pinnacles is IMHO sensational in its own right, but this is made even more special by its sudden appearance. When you climb An Teallach from Dundonnel this whole view is hidden right until the very last moment when you reach the stop of the steep bouldery slope very close to the summit. When you finally crest the ridge and this view opens out in front of you it just takes your breath away. Hope you enjoy it.

Bealach na Bà from Applecross is a legendary Highland climb, averaging 7% over 9 km with brutal ramps up to 20%. The single-track road winds through jaw-dropping mountain scenery, with hairpin bends, steep gradients, and exposure to wild weather. The tarmac is generally good, but the climb demands pacing—start steady and save energy for the relentless final switchbacks. Stay alert for oncoming vehicles and give yourself space on tight corners. Reach the summit, and you're rewarded with one of the most dramatic views—and descents—in all of the UK.

Slioch at 980m is a Munro in the North West Highlands. The summit occupies a commanding position overlooking Loch Maree offering amazing views in virtually all directions, but particularly south west towards the Torridon hills but also north and north east across Lochan Fada towards the remote hills of the Fisherfield Forest. Slioch is defended on the west and northern sides by impressive sandstone crags which is why the mountain is such an iconic view when seen across Loch Maree. The usual approach is from Kinlochewe to the south which takes advantage of an approach via Coire na Sleaghaich and short ridges of the Torridonian sandstone. This is a long walk of about 22km round trip where the first part involves walking along the Kinlochewe River for 4km and requires crossing the Abhainn Fhasaigh via a footbridge as it flows out of Gleann Bianasdail before even starting to climb Slioch itself. The ascent itself is relatively straightforward with minimal scrambling on the ridge route up and down. Make sure you visit the subsidiary summit of Sgùrr an Tuill Bhàin which is a better viewpoint to the north east. Slioch is one of the Munro giants and make sure you reserve a day of good weather because it is a day you will not forget.

The highest of the two Munros forming Beinn Alligin. Sgùrr Mòr provides spectacular views down to the Horns of Alligin as well as great views of the Corbett Beinn Dearg and the Munro summits of Liathach. It is an easy Munro to climb if doing a clockwise circuit, with an easy ridge walk from the lower Munro summit of Tom na Gruagaich. The anticlockwise route over the Horns of Alligin is more challenging with exposed Grade I scrambling over the three Horns particularly if descending this way. In winter this becomes a serious Scottish winter mountaineering venture.

Absolutely one of, if not, the finest road climb in Britain - can’t recommend it enough 😎😎 Not for the faint hearted!!

Starting from near sea-level it rises 626m in 9.1km of uphill – reaching 20% at its steepest gradient. If you wanted to do an ‘everesting’ challenge, it would only take 14.1 times to climb the 8,848m. One of the most beautiful climbs in Britain – if not one of the hardest.

tough climb but super awesome at the top if clear. You can see Skye!
