Climbed 15/03/12, Path is indeed very boggy- some sections as deep as my trekking pole! Other than that a nice walk with a cpl of
scrambly bits near top. Nothing to worry about thou.

climbed 11/9/06 - slight exaggeration on path, wore gaiters expecting worst but nothing remarkable, encountered a lot worse in 240+ munros. good path along ridge to base final steep 320 m climb to summit and excellent path scrambles up front. Our party of 6 took 6hrs enjoying views etc - much more enjoyable than expected and good character. Return via stony shore for some variety if ground really wet.

My son Ellis and I climbed this hill on January 3rd 2006 when most of the ground underfoot was frozen solid. Judging by the comments before it seems like we did the right thing! The steep zig zag path to the top avoids most problems and the views were stunning.

For the full wetness effect, try climbing this hill on the fourth day of heavy rain, and on a day when the west of Scotland flooded. Be aware though, that in very wet weather the unnamed burn feeding into Glen Kingie at NN066996 will be difficult to cross. A good guide is the outflow from Lochan nan Fhigheadair - if you have to wade this on the way out, it will be difficult to cross the burn without a waist deep wade. Otherwise a good little hill - celebrate the moisture!

I second the " wet " comments . I climbed this hill on October 24 , and the underfoot conditions were absolutely appalling . Did not see a thing all day . There are a couple of interesting rocky bits near the summit , take care when descending , you have to turn round and face inwards . Also take care on the descent when crossing a small stream , path is not obvious and you can easily go astray .

Even after an exceptionally dry summer in which Loch Quoich was at a low level, the approach from the dam to the base of the hill was horribly boggy. Then the path improves until the last part of the climb is a real pleasure, with a clear path and a touch of scrambling. Views up Glen Garry and to the dramatic mountains to the West are a great reward.

This must be one of the wettest hills I have ever walked on!
Waders advised!
