1-Liathach

Liathach is one of the most famous of the Torridon Hills. It lies to the north of the A896 road, in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland, and has two peaks of Munro status: Spidean a' Choire Leith at the east of the main ridge, and Mullach an Rathain at the western end of the mountain. The name Liathach is pronounced [ˈʎiə.əx] in Scottish Gaelic, and means 'The grey one'. Liathach conveys an aura of impregnability when seen from the roadside below, as the slopes appear to rise up in a series of near vertical rocky terraces.

This is taken from the official DVD called "The Munro Show" which features 11 of the 22 climbs that were filmed for Series 1 & Series 2 of the STV show. I have all 22 climbs on a single DVD, please contact me for further details. These are not available in the shops.

I did this route on a sunny but very windy summer day. I meant to take the low level path, but it had fallen away and was also pretty scary, so we did the Am Fasarinen pinnacles. Very scary and exposed but quite magical. One of the great mountains!
