This really is a hill for the Munro Connoisseur and certainly for those who enjoy wild places. Starting at Loch Beinn a' Mheadhoin it took approx 3.5 hours to reach the summit after taking in An Socach from Alltbeithe. The ascent is straightforward and offers brilliant views of Ceathreamhnan, Carn Eighe and Mam Sodhail. From here one is left with a very long return unless staying at Alltbeithe Youth Hostel. A good return and circuit is to include its neighbour Ceathreamhnan ascending via its NE ridge.
