Did You Know?
- •The name is derived from the Scottish Gaelic 'Streap', meaning 'climbing', while 'Comhlaidh' suggests 'together' or 'joint', marking its position as the connected secondary peak on the mountain's sharp main ridge.
- •The traverse between this peak and the main summit is one of the most celebrated narrow ridges in the Lochaber area, offering a hint of Alpine character on a fine day.
- •From this high vantage point, the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct appears as a tiny grey thread against the vast scale of the glen and the waters of Loch Shiel.
- •Its classification as a Tump—a hill with at least thirty metres of prominence—hardly does justice to the sheer scale of the 800-metre drop into the surrounding glens.
