About trip
6-8 housr, 1175m ascent, 1 munro, Am Basteir ('The Executioner') is a spectacular peak at the back of Coire Basteir, in the centre of the famous view from Sligachan. It's ascent is an airy scramble but the whole walk is spectacular.
The ascent of Am Basteir is a slightly unnerving scramble with difficult route finding. The remainder of the walk is easier but has steep scree.
