Hi there,

I've looked over older posts but I am still unsure as to the relative difficulty of the typical clockwise route.

How does it compare to Liathach and Aonach Eagach in terms of technical difficulty, has anyone done these three peaks?

 Cheers

Done them all more than once. You can bypass all the difficulties/pleasures/scary bits/fun (depending on your pov) by taking skirting paths, though these can sometimes be a bit washed away and loose in wet weather so you still need to take care. So, easier than Liathach and the AE if you skirt, potentially harder if you don't (there's a Mod climb right at the start if you're really serious).

Lookout for the bridge over the Allt-Gleann Chaorachain at about NH110844 - taking it means you can walk over the glorious limestone pavement to the base of Sail Liath.

Thanks, thats good to hear from someone that knows these hills well.  I dont intend to use any bypass routes if possible, didn't need to on Liathach (although many looked worse than going over the top), but as you say the fun bits are more difficult on An Teallach, I'll have to wait and see.  I'm considering doing it solo, hence the caution shownhere.

I'll look into the limestone pavement.

You should be fine - you've a lot more choice on An Teallach than the others you mention, so you don't need to worry much. Don't forget water though!

Agree with the above.  If doing the usual route clockwise, difficulties are avoided by skirting to the left.  It's a fabulous route, so save it for a good day, and give yourself enough time, too.  Enjoy it!
