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

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

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

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
