Background
Description
Baosbheinn, which is made up of Torridon Sandstone reaches a height of 875 m making it the 56th highest Corbett and the 277th highest Marilyn. It is a long elongated mountain with a NW-SE orientation. It has an impressive summit ridge, which barely drops below the 700 m contour in its 3 km length. Its SW slopes drops away steeply and rockily towards Loch a’ Ghobhainn while its NE slopes are less precipitous, throwing out a series of spurs which produces three craggy corries. Strong hill walkers can climb Baosbheinn with the adjacent Corbett of Beinn an Eoin which stands across Loch na h-Oidhche and gives a demanding circular walk of 21 km which takes between six and nine hours.
