Liathach, "the Grey One", is situated in the heart of the Torridon. Being the most dramatic of the Torridon Giants, Liathach's slopes are composed of terraced sandstone, above which the highest peaks are topped with quartzite blocks. Forboding on first aquantiance, there are however some chinks in Liathach's armour which has allowed rough routes and a bypass path around the scramble over the Am Fasarinen Pinnacles to develop over time. Peaks : 2 Munros
Ascent : 1280m (4200ft) Distance : 6km (4m) Time : 3:40hr |
