Standard route
Standard route
A short, accessible walk across the ancient Lewisian gneiss landscape unique to the northwest to the 336m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.
Terrain
Quartzite scree, peat hags and rough moorland. The northwest Highland landscape is geologically unique and physically demanding.
In winter
Winter in the northwest is characterised by wind, rain and occasional snow. The remoteness adds an extra dimension of seriousness to winter outings.
This hill is in the Torridon SAIS forecast area. Check SAIS forecasts in winter (December–April).
