| Ridgewalk with Max in driving drizzle and wind. Terrible descent through bracken and steep hillside to roadwalk back to the car. | alexmaclennan | 28/06/2012 |
| Solo. From Kinlochleven. I followed the West Highland Way NW and then the path that crosses Allt Nathrach by a bridge and then goes up the east nose of Beinn na Caillich. There is then a flattish section where my somewhat old OS 1:50,000 map showed no path. I followed what was probably an animal track on the steep northern slopes of Beinn na Caillich and reached the summit. On the descent I found that there is a path all the way to the summit. Dry weather with good views. | pwbellarby | 25/04/2009 |
