The views from this point are sensational, some of the best in Scotland.

The western end of Liathach with wonderful views down to Loch Torridon and to neighbouring mountains such as Beinn Alligin and Beinn Dearg.

The high point of the ridge with amazing views in all directions. Next come the pinnacles.

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.

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.

Mullach an Rathain is the slightly lower of the two Munro summits of Liathach, the wonderful Torridon giant. It is usually the second to be climbed as most walkers traverse Liathach from east to west. Reaching Mullach an Rathain is usually a massive relief and sense of achievement, having crossed the airy exposed Grade II scramble of the Am Fasarinen pinnacles. Although bypassing the most difficult parts of the ridge with a bypass path on the south side is possible in places, that path is still very exposed and many prefer the pinnacles themselves. Reachiing Mullach an Rathain having crossed Am Fasarinen in winter with Liathach in full winter conditions is a huge achievement but should only be attempted by those fully experienced and equipped for Scottish winter mountaineering.

Spidean a'Choire Leith is the higher of the two Munro summits on Liathach. It is usually the first one climbers reach and marks the beginning of the airy pinnacles of An Fasarinen which connect Spidean a'Choire Lèith to Mullach an Rathain, the second and slightly lower Munro summit. Crossing the Am Fasarine pinnacle is a Grade II scramble and should only be attempted by those with the skills and a good head for heights. Most of the more difficult parts can be avoided by bypass paths on the south side but these still have considerable exposure. In winter conditions, all of Liathach becomes a serious Scottish winter mountaineering adventure.
