Sgorr nan Lochan Uaine and Sgurr Dubh

Allt a Choire Dhuibh Mhoir

Whilst lacking the fame of their grand neighbours on the other side of Glen Torridon these two Corbetts provide a magnificent and strenuous walk. Sgorr nan Lochan Uaine is a fine pointed summit with a wonderful panorama, whilst the steep flanks of Sgurr Dubh provide the perfect view of Beinn Eighe.

Terrain - The route is very rough and largely pathless, with scree, heather and boulders. Navigation could be difficult on the complex ground between the two summits whilst the descent is extremely steep and rough requiring great care.

Grade 4
