Walked from Barisdale along a trak to the old sheilings in Coire Dhorrchail. Crossed the river and took the ridge round to the summit.
A few steep climbs over rocks but easy to navigate

30th May 2009. From Inverie by An Diollaid and the mainly grassy west ridge. On the descent to Bealach Coire Dhorrchail there is the ccasional rock step which requires care. The descent from this bealach south-west into Coire Torr an Asgaill is more grassy nearer to the slopes of Ladhar Bheinn, avoiding the rock pavements.

If planning an ascent from Barisdale I can recommend an alternative approach into Coire Dhorrcail: From Barisadale, continue NW along the coastline (good path) to the flat camping ground at NG 853 055. Don't cross the river, but look for a clearly seen stile that leads to an intermittent path (easy to follow) along the east side of Inbhir Dhorrcail and join the 'trade route' at about NG 852 044. It's worth it for the interesting coastal viewpoints.

Boat service now in Murray Morrisons hands at Arnisdale (01599 522774) will pick up / drop off anywhere in loch Hourn. £10 each way per person in modern metal boat to Barisdale = 10mins, even land with dry feet due to prow folds to become step onto shingle.Superb round of Coire Dhorrcail anti clockwise, path heads thro bracken into corrie bowl then steep pathless pull onto Druim a choire odhair ridge which narrows nicely to summit - no real scrambling. continue round to 849m point and traverse around left on faint path towards buttress and final short steep descent to mam barrisdale ridge.

As alternative to walking in to Barrisdale, it is possible to go in by boat from Arnisdale and follow the normal routes - much easier! It is an open boat which can take up to 5 and is run by Len Morrison, Croftfoot, Arnisdale (01599-522352)

Walk into Barrisdale from Kinlochourn - an adventure in itself. Tent or bothy at Barrisdale and do the round of Coire Dhorrcail anticlockwise - that way you walk up into the corrie on a good stalkers path. Superb views all the way, especially entering the corrie. It took my breath away! One of the Great Scottish Mountains for sure,
