Mountain Photography | Backpacking & Camping Trip - Stac Pollaidh.
Backpacking & wild Camping - Spectacular 'Stac Pollaidh' Summit Camp.
It was the chance to get out and do some more landscape photography whilst completing a hike for a summit camp I had wanted to do for a few years now.
Many would hate the thought of spending the night alone on top of a mountain but there is also a growing number of people who love the challenge and solitude.
This is the typical opportunity I really enjoy where I can combine two of my passions, wild camping and landscape photography.
The mountain I planned on climbing was Stac Pollaidh which is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. The peak displays a stunning rocky crest of Torridonian sandstone, with many pinnacles and steep gullies.
Stac Pollaidh can be climbed in less than 3 hours by any relatively fit person. From the car park on the shore of Loch Lurgainn the path leads directly up, under the spires of the crest.
About 200 m from the road the path splits; one may choose either since both meet up on the far side of the hill, from where it is only a short distance to the summit ridge.
Once on the ridge the true summit lies about 300 m to the west. However to reach it one must scramble over several rocky pinnacles, and a bit of scrambling experience and good head for heights is required.
The sandstone pinnacles are impressive and are rated in Scotland as second only to the ones on Quiraing on the Isle of Skye.
One of the key beneifits of visiting this fantastic small mountain is the views and ability to photograph some of the key mountains in the area such as ‘Cul Mor’ & ‘Suilven’ as well as stunning views across to the Atlantic.
