Ridge continuing westwards from summit of Ladhar Bheinn The ridge crest leaves Ladhar Bheinn's summit continuing at a high level to reach the mountain's trig point which unusually is not at the highest point. A path heading that way can be seen leaving the summit.
The distant mountains are the Black and Red Cuillins of Skye.
