Gairich gives a fairly easy day out and some stunning views around the Rough Bounds and Loch Quoich. Great stalkers path with a steep final ascent with some minor scrambling involved. This event is ideal for those who have previous hiking experience and good hill fitness.
What the day includes -
Meeting in the morning at the head of the Dam wall at Loch Quoich we will cross over the dam onto the moor. A boggy path to start with a few KMs to cover to take us to the shoulder of Gairich. Time to start taking in some ascent with a short pull up before the gradient eases again before we reach the final pull up towards the summit.
We will stop for a quick refuel before picking up the great stalkers paths which winds its way up the steep side of Gairich. Some eroded ground and a minor scramble to get through the rock band before the gradient eases off again, from here a short hike to the summit cairn.
After a well deserved break and bite to eat we will retrace our steps back the way we came.
Meeting location and kit list will be received upon booking.
