Standard route

Standard route from Resipole, following the path up the south flank past several lochans. Long but steady ascent. Pathless above the upper lochan.

Terrain

Boggy in places. Path becomes indistinct on the upper slopes. Watch the descent line in cloud.

In winter

Less snow than central Highlands but Atlantic weather makes navigation hard.
