An Gearanach, Mountain summit in Mamores, Scotland
Description
An Gearanach is a summit in the Mamores range in Scotland that rises to about 982 meters. The peak features a narrow ridge extending north from the main backbone of this mountain range.
History
The mountain was included in the Munro classification system, which records Scottish peaks over 3,000 feet in height. This system helped climbers explore the region's major summits in a organized way.
Culture
The summit is part of a popular mountain route that walkers regularly traverse in the area. This circuit connects several peaks and is known among people who enjoy highland walks.
Practical
The climb starts in Kinlochleven and follows hiking paths toward Fort William before reaching the Mamore Lodge area. The best time to go is early in the day, especially when weather conditions are stable and visibility is good.
Did you know?
A steel suspension bridge crosses a valley during the approach to the mountain, adding a technical element to the hike. This bridge becomes particularly notable in bad weather when it moves with the wind.
