Hill Lists: Munros and Munro Tops". Scottish Mountaineering Club. The current Munro list contains 282 peaks. The SMC maintains the list of Munros. In recent times the list has only been altered to reflect updates to nationally recognised topographic data (i.e. data recognised and adopted by the Ordnance Survey). We record all such changes as hill news. Munro Tops are the list of distinct Scottish peaks of 3000ft and over, that fail to meet the criteria of "sufficient separation" from their neighbouring peaks (see above). There are currently 226 Munro Tops. A lot of experienced Munro baggers consider this one to be the easiest. Besides the high starting point and the excellent trail, Schiehallion also provides phenomenal views. Buachaille Etive Beag Climbing the Munros can be difficult. If we imagine a difficulty scale that goes from 1 to 5, with 1 being a walk in the park and 5 being an extremely challenging climb, most Munros will be somewhere at number 3.

This book was written by one of Scotland’s most famous mountain walkers and wilderness hikers – Cameron McNeish. This is a stunning piece of work in every sense of that word and one that can come in very handy to experienced climbers and novice walkers alike. Sir Hugh T. Munro; Derek A. Bearhop (1997). Munro's Tables (Scottish Mountaineering Club District Guides). Scottish Mountaineering Club. ISBN 978-0907521532. Scottish Mountaineering Club - The SMC maintain the lists of Munros, Munro Tops, Furths, Corbetts and Donalds. They also keep a record of Completionists. Loch Lomond is situated in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park in Scotland, approximately 40 miles northwest of Glasgow. This stunning area is famous for its beautiful landscapes, tranquil lochs, and rolling hills. The national park is home to numerous Munros, which are mountains with a summit of more than 3,000ft (914m) in height, making it a popular destination for hillwalkers and outdoor enthusiasts. Number of Munros Authored by Steven Kew, “Walking the Munros” is actually a two-part set: the first volume covers the Southern, Western, and Central Highlands, while the second volume covers the Cairngorms and the Northern Highlands. How to Plan a Trekking RouteBeinn a' Chroin in Crianlarich is the youngest Munro. Its classification was changed by the SMC from a Munro Top to a Munro in 1997.

In addition to Munros, there are also Munro Tops and Murdos. Munro Tops are summits that are over 3,000ft, but considered to be a subsidary top of a nearby Munro. Choose food that’s easy to eat with only your hands. Sometimes, the conditions won’t allow you to stop and have a leisurely break. It goes without saying, but make sure to bring plenty of water, too. Adequate Clothes of the 282 Scottish Munros have an official OSI prominence above 30 m, except Maoile Lunndaidh, who was found in a 2014 survey to be lower than nearby Creag Toll a' Choin. [6] Thus, Maoile Lunndaidh had its prominence reduced from 400 m to just under 11 m, and the 400 m of prominence given to Creag Toll a' Choin. Note that Creag Toll a' Choin had previously been a Munro until later mapping favoured Maoile Lunndaidh. Munro Tops are summits that are over 3,000ft, but considered to be a subsidiary top of a nearby Munro. There are currently 227 Munro Tops. The Murdos, a list created by Alan Dawson to bring objectivity to the classification of subsidiary summits of Munros, are Scottish hills over 3,000ft with a minimum drop of 30 metres on all sides. All Munros are Murdos, but not all Munro Tops are Murdos. There are 442 Murdos. Munro bagging is a popular pastime in Scotland where walking enthusiasts challenge themselves to climb as many of the peaks as they can - over 6,000 people, called 'compleatists' (or Munroists) have climbed them all so far. WHY ARE THEY CALLED 'MUNROS'? Personally, I wouldn’t say any criteria that make climbing one mountain ‘better’ than climbing any other because what one person thinks is a great Munro can just as easily be at the bottom of the list for someone else.As we’ve already mentioned, no two outdoor enthusiasts are alike. In other words, there isn’t a single difficulty ranking for the Munros that is applicable to all trekkers.
