'The Northwest is the wildest and most rugged part of the Highlands; vast tracts of it are remote from roads and human habitation and the walker and climber in these mountains can experience a sense of solitude and isolation as in few other parts of the country.'
The North West Highlands. Scottish Mountaineering Club. 1994.

From the famous pinnacles of Stac Pollaidh in the north to Glen Affric in the South and from the West coast peninsulas to Ben Wyvis in the East. The main challenge facing the team is the vast distances involved.

While the mountains are spectacular, the terrain is extremely hazardous. Mountain ridges are steep and remote - often miles from any type of track. At the heart of the area lies An Teallach, a high and complex mountain ridge with at least ten summits over 700 metres and three over 1000. Directly south is the 'Great Wilderness' of the Fisherfield and Letterewe Forests. One of the most remote areas in the UK, it attracts mountaineers, climbers and long-distance walkers.
North of Ullapool lies Coigach - a sparsely populated peninsula with remote hill lochs and steep summits. To the west is Reiff - one of the best sea-cliff climbing venues in Scotland.

Also within the DMRT boundary are the Beinn Dearg Hills, Ben Wyvis, and the Fannichs - a cluster of 12 peaks including one of the highest in Northern Scotland - Sgurr Mor (Big Peak) at 1110m. In the south lie the hills of Mullardoch and Strathfarrar which include the highest peaks north of the Great Glen.
