An Leth-chreag

Rising above the northern shores of Loch Monar, this high-altitude shoulder forms part of the remote Lurg Mhòr massif. At 756m, it offers a rugged, pathless experience characteristic of the Monar forest. Climbers are rewarded with expansive views across the water toward the towering peaks of the Mullardoch range.

• •The name is Scottish Gaelic for 'the half-crag,' likely describing the steep, broken northern face that contrasts with the broader, gentler slopes to the south and east.
• •Positioned on the long eastern arm of Lurg Mhòr, this summit is located in one of the most remote corners of the Highlands, far from any public road and overlooking the deep waters of Loch Monar.
• •From the top, you get a clear look at the sprawling northern face of the Mullardoch Munros, specifically the high, sharp profile of Sgùrr na Lapaich across the glen.
• •Reaching this hill usually requires navigating the restricted access road through Glen Strathfarrar, where a locked gate and seasonal opening times add a layer of logistical planning to the day's walking.
• •Given its status as a 'half-crag' in such a remote location, most walkers will feel they have done at least double the work just to reach the base of it.
