Sgurr na Feartaig is the highest point on a series of rugged hills and crests that overlook Glen Carron, stretching north-east from Attadale toward Glen Uig.

With stalkers paths climbing up Sgurr na Feartaig's slopes and coires, there are various options to bag its summit.

Way back in the early 90's, I climbed Sgurr na Feartaig for the first time. It was bagged as a detour from Bealach Bhearnais on the way to bigger prizes such as Bidean a' Choire Sheasgaich and Lurg Mhor.

It took me another 30 years for a revisit, this time hiking and running up Sgurr na Feartaig on its own on a fine circular route from Craig.
