Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
783 m (2568 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

A description of the characteristics of the mountain including any hazards of which you should be aware.

  Description
Beinn Mhic Cedidh is a simple hill with one long ridge winding N to Sgurr na Paite (323m) overlooking Loch Eilt. This ridge which is at times narrow and rocky is the most suitable ascent route.

The only approach route to this hill is the A830 road to the N and you will be obliged to make at least one un-bridged river crossing. Do not expect a well trodden path up this ridge!

Hazards you may encounter on Beinn Mhic Cedidh include
 Crags on or near ascent routes.
 Narrow Ridges, with exposure.
 
General Considerations
 Temperature decreases by 1degree C for every 100m of ascent.
 Wind usually increases with altitude.
 Visibility can change markedly with cloud level.
 River/Stream levels can increase markedly in one day.
