A moderate walk (mountain (above 600m)) in Highland, Scotland, about 18.00km (11.18 mi) long with an estimated walking time of about 7:30h. It is unsuitable for families with children, prams & pushchairs, wheelchairs.
Streap is one of many fine hills accessible from the West Highland Railway. It sits at the head of Glean Dubh Lighe, and the knife-edge ridge to the summit makes for a classic mountain adventure. Start and finish at Glenfinnan.
The path leads to Corryhully bothy (handy if you want to do the Munros the next day). Cross the stream outside the bothy and head directly uphill, keeping left of the forest boundary.
Head up the slope - no path - to Meall an Uillt Chaoil. From here, the route is clear, as well as the edgy nature of this walk - on a clear day, the sharp ridge up to the summit of Streap comes tantalisingly into view.
The ridge becomes ever finer, and the drops ever more hairy as you approach the highest top of the day - Streap, a Corbett at 909m for those who like to tick these things off (like me).
