Ben Mor Coigach Hill Walking

Ben Mor Coigach. This mountain is first seen from the road north of Ullapool as a long high ridge forming an impressive backdrop to Ardmair Bay. The western end of the ridge falls steeply into the sea near Culnacraig with the crest running at 700m for 3 km to the pointed top of Speicin Coinnich. The mountain continues for a further 5 km eastwards as a series of heathery slopes running towards the road junction at Drumrunie. When viewed from the north the ridge is dominated by The Fiddler (Sgurr an Fhidhleir), a great pointed cliff that should be included as part of any ascent of Ben Mor Coigach. The steep and rocky climb onto the long and narrow ridge above Culnacraig had put us off an attempt of the traverse for some time but when we did venture up the hillside we were rewarded with a fine, high and narrow ridge walk.
