About Beinn Bhan
Beinn Bhàn rises on the Applecross peninsula, on the north side of Loch Kishorn. Its eastern flank is the striking side: a series of rocky corries visible from the A896.
Chief among them is Coire na Poite, a bowl almost completely enclosed by crags, which carry both summer and winter ice climbing routes. The summit reaches 895.7 m, a Corbett with Marilyn, HuMP and Simm listings.
