Am Faochagach, Mountain summit in Highland, Scotland.
Description
Am Faochagach is a mountain peak in the Northwest Highlands that rises to 953 meters and features a cairn marking its summit. From the top, views stretch across neighboring peaks and moorland across a vast Highland landscape.
History
The mountain was included in the Munro list established in 1891 by Sir Hugh Munro, which catalogues Scottish peaks exceeding 3000 feet. This classification transformed it into a destination for climbers pursuing completion of the entire collection.
Culture
Scottish mountaineers regard Am Faochagach as part of the Munro collection, making it a destination for those pursuing the completion of all peaks.
Practical
Plan for 4 to 5 hours of hiking time for the round trip with considerable elevation gain to reach the summit. Proper footwear and weather-resistant clothing are essential since the terrain includes boggy sections and conditions can change rapidly.
Did you know?
The lower approach involves navigating through boggy moorland before hikers reach the easier upper slopes, making the ascent feel quite different at each stage. This mixture of difficult and straightforward terrain catches many visitors off guard during their climb.
