Overview

A hill climb offering stunning 360 degree views around the fabulous Arrochar Alps from the Trig point of this Corbett (Scottish weather permitting of course!)

The same route will be taken for both ascent and descent, and a steady pace will allow walkers time to stop and take in the views.The route will be potentially boggy and the gradient steep in some places, but should be straightforward enough for those with hillwalking experience. Poles and gaiters, if used, are advised. 

The walk includes a short and rocky scramble and this can be seen in one of the posted photos.
