Descent and Climb
From the edge of Carn an Fhidhleir, we now have to drop into this Glen in order to climb An Sgarsoch opposite. This looks like it could be hard as the lower slopes are boggy and there's no path.
Carn an Fhidhleir (pronounced Carn an Ealer) means the 'Rocky Hill of the Fiddler' and stands at 994 meters (3261 feet), while An Sgarsoch, meaning 'The Place of Sharp Rocks' is slightly higher at 1006 meters (3300 feet). These Munro's rank amongst the remotest in Scotland, lying as they do in a vast roadless region with long approaches from any direction. Our epic day sees us cycing 7.5 miles up Glen Geldie, hiking the 11.5 mile circuit of the 2 mountains, then the return cycle takes the total mileage up to 26.5 miles.
