With Rob cycled from inveruglas on a sunny cold morning. Started up by a stream ascending to join a well prepared rocky path that took all the way up to the final ascent up the arête. The snowy conditions justified vthe spikes and ice axes as precautions the summit is a large flat space. We shared with a lady bus driver from Skye and two sixty year olds. A happy group. We descended down north facing snowy slopes threading thru corrriesto traverse on an old level rail track to join the track we had climbed. The freewheel

Walkhighlands route from Inveruglas carpark.Glorious June day with amazing clear views, but a bit too hot really. | Lazylizzie | 04/06/2023 |
Parked at the Inveruglas visitor centre car park (£4 cash/card) and followed the track/path up the E ridge and back. Cold wind and into the cloud at about 800m, so no views. With Gillian | richard69 | 27/05/2023 |

Walkhighlands route from Inveruglas. Didn't fancy returning by the steps and scrambles so followed the ridge to Beinn Dubh via BV North and Far North Tops then down to the dam. Cross the burns higher up before descending: the last one is tricky to cross lower down. | TRG318 | 29/06/2022 |
