The direct path rises steeply out of Kinlochleven and eases off as it approaches the sharp bend in the Mamore Lodge track. It is less distinct higher up at the point where it takes a long detour eastwards. It is worth cutting off the eastern corner at a small lochan. No problems along the ridge: bouldery near the summit.
