Conival, Ben More Assynt plus south topGeoff Briggs21/11/2023
By standard out-and-back from Inch Lodge after Shills meet. Warm and sunny at bottom (keds), into the clag, cold rain and stiff breeze, then out above clouds on traverse between summit. BMA in sunshine with views down to Shin. Inversion to N and S of arete. Cleared totally about 4pm, by which time I was nearly down. Rounsfell09/10/2023
Round of Conival, Ben More Assynt and Ben More Assynt South Top. Took the good path in from Inchnadamph and up Conival. Across the ridge to Ben More Assynt via it's W top and up to the munro summit. Followed the path across the ridge to the S top - it's a fairly pleasant ridge in summer, no real exposure or technical sections (just one lump of rock that can be clambered over or around). Headed south after the S top and then before the ascent to Carn nan Conbhairean, dropped very steeply down the side of a gully to the valley floor, and then skirted west of Dubh-Loch Mor and up to the bealach between Conival and Breabag, and then the intermittent path back out to the original inbound track, and back to Inchnadamph. Total time 7h 11min - very hot day.mproudfoot17/06/2023
Walk in from Inchnadamph up Conival and along ridge to Ben More Assynt. Relatively easy day. Cloud base at 900 metres although cloud cleared as I descended. Time taken 7 hours 15 minutes. Although I spent a lot of time chatting and then relaxing on the summits. Distance 11.5 miles 3868 feet of ascent.isabelle06/06/2023
Weather fair.MountainMac21/04/2023
From Inchnadanph. Via caves to Am Bealach, Dubh Loch Mor. Steeply up to ridge just S of Carn nan Conbhairean. South top, Ben More Assynt, Conival and return via Allt a Choinne Mhill. Last hour in darkness. 9 hour walk. With B and R.jenx29/11/2022
On own. Weather perfect with cloud level above summits all day giving fantastic views throughout. From the public car park in front of Inchmadamph Hotel via Conival and Ben More (Assynt) West Top returning by the same route. The route between Conival and the ridge to Ben More Assynt was extremely tough going and needs taking slowly and carefully amongst the boulders.Beeliner11/09/2022
Cornival and Ben More. Camped at around 800m and had an early start.Nicky C16/08/2022
2/2 ....along ridge to summit. Airy but minimal exposure. Think this would be excellent in winter. Some clearing of clouds to reveal very extensive views to vast open spaces to North. Walk out by same routewychwood12/06/2022
Did not successfully summit. Abandoned due to incredibly high winds and snowy/icy conditions.Jazz1626/02/2022

club camping weekend, solo walkJamesSDonald05/06/2021
From the public car park in front of Inchmadamph Hotel via Conival and Ben More (Assynt) West Top returning by the same route. 10pm finish covering 12 miles in 12 hours with the last couple of miles along Glean Dubh taking about 3 hours. Thought it was tiredness but ended up injuring right Achilles and left knee resulting in 3 month lay off from any serious hills. On top of that the hotel owner came looking for us as a result of being reported to police for late return to campsite and if that was not enough we hit a deer on the journey back to camp.mntainman10/05/2021

Bagged with Conival (987m) from the Inchnadamph car park in the north west highlands. These are two hills that I had planned on getting multiple times, when I lived in Inverness, but there was always an excuse not to, so I’m very chuffed to have finally bagged them. In the wind shelter on Conival I met a very friendly 73 year old called Keith and we paired up for the rest of the day. 09:40hrs in total sunshine and blue skies till 5pm then overcast but dry.chillyman815/07/2019

mist and windy with mike shaw and peter walkerlithosyork29/12/2018
Reached from the car park at Inchnadamph on an eleven mile walk first summiting Conival. Walk took around seven hours in wintery conditions (beware of the pink rock as this can be very slippery) and the path can be difficult to pick out at times, still a brilliant walk along the ridge in between the two tops.WAYNE ROWLETT24/12/2018
What a mountain and what a day!- the whole ridge and surrounding wilderness in sharp sunlight- a joy to be up here. Huge spectacular and unusual quartzite towers on ridge. HP was a central outcrop. Lingered over lunch before continuing to Conival.Denise 14/10/2018
Warm and sunny day - good visibility for much of the day. Nice walk from Inchnadamph - clear, dry and reasonably sunny. Good paths except the rough climb to the ridge.Capt Malbec14/10/2018
From Inchnadamph (Loch Assynt) along Traligill to Conival and then along the ridge to Ben More Assynt. Cloudy conditions, improving, but strong cross wind on ridge across to Ben More Assynt.knarf29/08/2018

2nd munro of day.Weather really atrocious - strong cold wind and heavy rain becoming hail after we summitted. Bridge near Inchnadamph which we crossed on way up now overwhelmed by strong current and unsafe to use.dave neilson29/07/2016
From Inchnadamph Lodge, the path is clear (even after it ends on the map) all the way over Conival and on to Ben More. Given that 5 hours of the 7 were in the fog, that's just as well. The walk along the river at the start and end was lovely. The climbing and descending in the fog was slippy and quite tough! However county top 17 complete.callumorr25/07/2016
Third visit, in order to clear up outlying tops. Very windyColin Crawford14/06/2016

Continued along ridge in the mist from conival...2 munros in one day is getting a bit much for an old fella like me.steven ruffles31/08/2015
From Conival, the ridge was in thick cloud. No problems. Decided to return to Conival rather then the planned other route down. Don't forget to check both cairns - which are 100m apart- just in case.Jhimmy26/08/2015
