Cnap Cruinn

Rising above the eastern shores of Loch Treig, Cnap Cruinn is a rugged Graham in the heart of the Lochaber wilderness. It offers a remote-feeling ascent through rough, pathless terrain, rewarded by a grandstand view across the water to the towering Easains and the sharp peaks of the Grey Corries.

• •The name Cnap Cruinn is Scottish Gaelic for 'Round Lump' or 'Round Hillock', a characteristically literal name for this dome-shaped summit.
• •The hill is typically approached from Corrour railway station, making it one of a handful of Scottish peaks most easily reached by rail rather than by road.
• •The summit offers a commanding view over the long, narrow trench of Loch Treig, looking directly across the water to the steep eastern faces of the Easains.
• •It is frequently climbed in tandem with the neighbouring Munro, Beinn na Lap, though the ground between them is notoriously boggy and lacks any formal paths.
• •Despite the name suggesting a simple 'lump', the surrounding terrain consists of enough pathless peat hags to make a walker wish for a mountain that was a little more streamlined.
