These two towers make for a fine excursion onto exposed vegetated rock of dubious soundness. From the easily gained gap between the two peaks a narrow path makes a traverse across the SE face with increasing exposure to grassy 'picnic ledge' on S ridge. A few metres before the ledge a steep earthy/heathery gully provides a way up the first rock band. Easily up vegetated ridge to the next rock band negotiated by weakness on its SE side(exposed). Spongy vegetated lost world of a summit - superb variety of vegetation. Rope handy on descent.RichardM30/06/2021
Started from col in between Dubh and an Rama. Followed a narrow sheep trod under a rock band on side with steep drop left til reached a rock rib across the trod. Thrutched c 10m up (shortened pole useful) the side of this crux rib. You could not call this a scramble, but it's loose and vegetated and steep. Then walk along top of this rib (c 10 m ), to grass terrace below next rock band. 2-3 m right there is a 3 m high (easier) loose, vegetated gully up which we we thrutched to the flat top. Thick vegetation with lots of flowers. Used comfort rope on crux in reverse.Denise 30/06/2021
2nd of 14, as per Rob's route, did it in very dry conditions and found descending the heather ramp a bit of a nightmare. Seemed harder than the wee step up above on the day. Dun Dubh next.Dave McG30/05/2018
Sensational and exposed but it would be hard to dignify this route with the term scramble, most of the rock being decidedly unreliable and steep vegetation being the main feature. I approached from the southern side, using steep grass then probably used the same rock step as Rob - it seemed the only weakness. I looked over at the col to Dun Dubh but no descent possible there; you have to reverse your steps. An approach from the col between the pair would be possible, with safe grassy run outs west and east, but you'd still have to edge round south from there and subject yourself to the exposure of the described routeColin Crawford23/10/2016
From gap/col to N, followed sheep trod (exposed) round E side, scrambled up obvious heather ramp then a rock step (exposed - ~worrying in descent) leads to steep rushy slope hence to flat tussocky summit. Exciting! First tried S and SE side without success. Then skirted back round E side to its taller neighbour.
