Looking back towards Liathach's highest summit and the formidable (if you aren't a climber) Am Fasarinen ('The Teeth') pinnacles. We took the easier option of slightly lower but very exposed narrow path on the opposite side to this view. Torridon, NW Scotland.

The promise of a fine walk to come as we survey our route and the clearing cloud from Liathach's easternmost summit - Stuc A Choire Dhuibh Bhig (915m). Torridon, NW Scotland. Fly to this location (Requires Google Earth )

One of the best things about British mountains is that in general you can get to the top of them - although Liathach presents more of a challenge than some. We spent a very pleasant lunch break here at Spidean a Coire Leith (1055m) admiring this view of the Beinn Eighe mountain chain and the lower slopes of Liathach. During the whole day in these fabulous conditions we encountered just one group of four other people. However our lunch break was spectacularly interrupted by a fast jet, flying from behind where we sitting, just 40m away from us below and to our left. The pilot proceeded to skim the top of Beinn Eighe before climbing for a huge loop. I think he was enjoying the mountains just as much as we were! Torridon, NW Scotland.
