Beinn Teallach, Map 34; 14 Sept 2005

Route: 10.4 miles, 695m = 2280' ascent, 4¾ hrs.

Route: The normal route up Beinn Teallach starts at Roughburn and ascends the south ridge, as given in the link above for the GPS route. To complete a circular route, the north-east ridge is taken down to the cairn on the bealach and then either following the path down beside the Allt a'Chaorainn or continuing E/SE to Beinn a'Chorainn, which is a natural second Munro to include. The combination of Beinn Teallach and Beinn a'Chorainn is described in the next page
However, the route described here is one to take when heavy rain has swollen rivers sufficiently to make the Allt a Chaorainn impossible to cross at the usual fording point of NN36328223. It is very unwise to descend S ridge and expect to be able to cross the Allt a'Chaorainn after heavy rain. Note that the highest point and its height were established in 2009 by differential GPS measurements sponsored by the Munro Society. The true summit is at the smaller NE cairn, not at the apparently main cairn, and is 8" above the 3000' threshold.

Weather: Extended showers, windy, 100% cloud cover; cloud base at 750m; 12°C at car.

Mobile: Orange at main SW cairn of Beinn Teallach, not at neighbouring smaller NE cairn.
