Sgùrr Fiona (An Teallach)

Sgùrr Fiona, at 1,060 metres, is the second Munro of An Teallach — "the Fair Peak" — a shapely summit standing alongside the dramatic pinnacles of Corrag Bhuidhe and Lord Berkeley's Seat on one of the finest ridges in Britain.

Almost all walkers reach Sgùrr Fiona from Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill, following the rocky ridge south-west with immense views down into Coire Toll an Lochain, descending to a bealach scattered with interesting weathered sandstone features before a short, steep, and rough climb to the small summit cairn. From here the view ahead is dominated by Lord Berkeley's Seat and the pinnacles of Corrag Bhuidhe.

Walkers content with the two Munro summits return to Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill and back to Corrie Hallie by the outward route. Those undertaking the full ridge traverse continue south over increasingly serious terrain — a direct scramble past Corrag Bhuidhe is graded Difficult in rock-climbing terms, though easier bypass options exist slightly to the west, before the ridge continues over Stob Cadha Gobhlach and Sail Liath to descend towards Shenavall or Dundonnell.

The there-and-back route taking in both Munros from Corrie Hallie is around 16-18 kilometres with around 1,400-1,550 metres of ascent, typically six to eight hours; the full ridge traverse is considerably longer and more serious, often taking eight to ten hours or more.

The decision on whether to continue past Sgùrr Fiona onto the pinnacles should be made in full knowledge of the exposure involved and only by parties confident in scrambling — turning back to retrace the route to Bidein a' Ghlas Thuill is a perfectly sensible choice in poor conditions, uncertain weather, or when travelling alone.

Parking at the Corrie Hallie layby is free; there is no public transport to the start.
