Track from A830, paralleling the Allt an Utha until it turns eastwards to climb Druim na Brein-choille. At its end a small path, occasionally cairned, reaches the col with Fraoch-bheinn, from where the summit is easily attained. Westwards across a wide ridge to Sgurr an Utha, reversing the route until finding a deep pool for a spot of skinny-dipping to cool us down on a very hot day. | summitter | 05/06/2022 |
