Beinn Eighe, from near Kinlochewe The two eastern peaks of the mountain's very long backbone can be seen, Sgùrr nan Fhir Duibhe (Peak of the Black Carls) on the left and Creag Dhubh on the right. The Black Carls are the tooth like prominences on the ridge to the right of the summit, and are composed of rotting quartzite; putting your hand on a bit of the mountain and feeling it move is sensational! The hidden rear of the peak is composed almost entirely of such rock.
