About Beinn Bhan (Coire nan Fhamair)

Beinn Bhan on the Applecross peninsula is the highest point of the great sandstone plateau of Applecross and holds some of the biggest and steepest Torridonian sandstone cliffs in Scotland. The star piece is Coire nan Fhamair — the Corrie of the Giants — a huge north-east-facing amphitheatre ringed by tiered sandstone buttresses which reach two hundred metres in height. The rock is rough Torridonian sandstone with clean crack systems, positive edges, and jam-friendly grooves, but exposure to Atlantic weather and a north-east aspect mean the cliffs seep long after rain and stay cold well into the summer. The route selection is squarely mountain trad, from friendly Diff-grade ridges up to bold E-grade wall climbs, and days here have a genuinely remote feel. Approach from Kishorn involves a two-hour hike up bog and open moor with over five hundred metres of ascent, and descent options are limited enough to demand cautious weather choices.

Region: Scotland - Highlands — Applecross
Rock type: Sandstone
Aspect: north-east-facing
