로크 스택 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

The summit of Arkle is a big stone covered dome, easy to climb onto after the narrow ridge, and the views are more restricted than on the ridge itself, but still worthwhile.

The narrow ridge is an 'interesting' section - fine in good dry weather but caution is required in wet / windy weather. Quartzite becomes as slippery as soap when wet, and the narrowest part of the ridge is flat slabs of the stuff.

The summit of Ben Stack is a wonderful viewpoint, Quinaq and Assynt to the south; Arkle and Foinaven across Loch Stack to the north; the coast to the west. This is a fine little mountain in an isolated lonely part of the far north west of Scotland.

True Scottish wilderness. The Bealach Horn is worth all the effort of getting there. Magestic Sutherland lies in front. The views on a clear day are incredible. The descent to Achfary from here on a bike is amazing!

The ridge approaching Arkle is a pathless spine of quartzite. The ridge is rocky, exposed and has a little easy scrambling. In wet weather the rock can be a bit slippery.

Arkle stands at 787 m in the North-west Sutherland region of the highlands. It's a large, curving ridge of shattered quartzite with great views over the area and back towards Foinavon.

Meall Horn at 777 m is a complex mountain in the heart of Sutherland. The views from the summit to nearby Arkle and Foinaven are worth the walk.

Ben Stack is a nice pointy mountain, standing at 721 m. It's classified as a Fiona. The classic walk is up the fairly pathless and sometimes boggy south-eastern ridge. The reward is a great distinct summit and far-reaching views.
