About Gulvain
Gaor Bheinn, also known in English as Gulvain, is a mountain in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. It is in Lochaber, south of Loch Arkaig and north of the road west of Fort William. It is composed of banded granite and shaped like a letter Y, with two tops connected by a ridge running from northeast to southwest, with the northern top 6 m higher than the one to the south. Crags drop at either end, and steep slopes fall away to either side. The south ridge path is really a stream bed, so in wet conditions an easier if longer ascent from Na Socachan is to walk up Allt a Choire Reidh towards Gualann nan Osna and climb the south top's north-west ridge.
