Overview

This Munro is to the west of the Ben Lawers range, starting at the same car park. There is a good path to the start. Once we gain some height there is a rockier section to reach the summit. It is not a difficult climb but you may have your hands on rocks occasionally. If the weather is poor we will return the same way, making for a relatively short walk. Assuming the weather is fair, we will continue along the Tarmachan ridge to complete the circuit back to the car park. The ridge can include a very short section of grade 1 scrambling, but this can be bypassed. It’s very doable and short!
