Composed almost entirely of scree, Beinn Eighe's accessible southern flank may look unpromising from a scrambling perspective; but the hard-to-get-at northern side is a different story, a series of impressive craggy corries with a real feeling of remoteness. Taking in a Corbett, and the easterly Munro of the range, this round also incorporates three scrambles to give a hands-on enchainment that's greater than the sum of its parts: the exciting Long Stroll Slab (grade 3) of Ruadh-stac Beag; the surprisingly good North Ridge (grade 2) of Spidean Coire nan Clach; and the shattered pinnacles of the Black Carls (grade 1).
I'm bumping this because it's a really good scrambling link-up. And Dan's comments on the first two are spot on: the top of Long Stroll Slab is definitely exciting (it's not a scramble I'd want to reverse), and the North Ridge is way better than it looks from a distance.
