Anti-clockwise route from Reindeer Centre. Very busy route to the bothy and the green lochan, surprisingly steep ascent path from the bothy but made for a quick ascent. Part way along the (also quick) descent, encountered a middle-aged couple sitting on the path with their back to me coming down.. she was completely topless! Bit too busy for that up here Mrs! Total time 2h 18minmproudfoot30/07/2022

Just wanted to go to Ryvoan Pass from the Glenmore car park, but at the bothy we said: hey, how hard could it be? As it turned out, quite. But worth it.bartongabor03/04/2021
