Pillar in good condition and the score of 10 is because the location is the Torridons - how could it be anything else!

Stonebuilt, FB missing, top slightly damaged; no cap or plug. Followed obvious path from SSE, which reaches the S spur 200m S of the trig. Made the short traverse to revisit the airy Munro summit. Alligin-Liathach-Eighe trigs on a perfect spring day :-)

Rock Pillar shows signs of repair.Flush Plate has been removed. trig point is situated at 972m 21m lower than the summit which is 200m to the NE. I am suprised that it has never been logged, as it is on the main Beinn Eighe ridge, and is on the 1:25000 OS map

My first Munro proper. Congratulations to Keith Noble who walked through the low cloud to claim his 280th Munro. No Bagpipes or Champagne just a total stranger to shake his hand. Once the cloud eventually lifted the views were amazing. The pillar does not stand at the very summit for obvious reasons.

Not much of a view from Spidean Coire nan Clach at 11:40am... but wait...! One of two Munro summits on Beinn Eighe

Spidean Coire nan Clach: Not the summit which is the high point of the Beinn Eighe main ridge, and avoided Munro's tables until 1997, thats a we bit higher, but the trig is a fine place all the same. I carried on to the other Munro top, Ruadh Stac Mor, an outlier, but higher, to the north.
