Overview

A Munro at a slow pace. One of the easier Munros and a good starter if you have not climbed one before. There is a track most of the way but the final section is over rough boulders and care is needed as there is no clearly defined path. Ascent and descent by the same route from the Braes of Foss car park.  This walk is entirely weather dependent. Timing may vary.

Edinburgh Group grade B+

Booking essential. Please contact walk leader for car share details and booking.
