Description

An Teallach is a non-volcanic mountain near Dundonnell in Scotland’s Northwest Highlands. Torridonian sandstone and quartzite form its ridges above Toll an Lochain. Its two Munros are Bidein a’ Ghlas Thuill (1,062 m) and Sgùrr Fiona (1,060 m). Ascending both summits from Dundonnell can avoid the Corrag Bhuidhe pinnacles, whereas the direct traverse demands Grade 3 scrambling. The BMC and local guiding operator clearly distinguish these options.

Routes

Dua Munro dari Dundonnell / Both Munros from Dundonnell

Hillwalk berat tanpa traverse pinakel / Strenuous hillwalk without pinnacle traverse

6–8 jam / 6–8 hours (Climb Torridon)

From Dundonnell reach Bidein a’ Ghlas Thuill and Sgùrr Fiona, then return without crossing Corrag Bhuidhe. The operator describes this as serious, remote mountain terrain.

Grade 3 scramble (direct line)

8–9 jam pada musim panas / 8–9 hours in summer (BMC)

Ascend via Sàil Liath, cross Corrag Bhuidhe and Lord Berkeley’s Seat, then reach both Munros. The BMC recommends this direction to climb the Bad Step upwards. A Dundonnell descent requires arranging the return to the start.

Climbing Experiences

Five videos introduce An Teallach and its ridge traverse. Mountain Coward’s written account adds experience of choosing the bypass, losing the path and becoming separated from the group; it shows that avoiding the pinnacles still requires navigation.
