Quick Facts
This is the height of the mountain above sea level. However, on the climb, it is the ascent that matters, i.e. the sum of all the uphill parts of the route.
Altitude
979 m (3211 ft)

This is the standard notation used on Ordnance Survey Landranger maps.

Each reference consists of two letters identifying a 100,000 metre square block then three digits defining the Easting and finally the three digits defining the Northing with reference to the South West corner of the block.

NN166712 is the grid reference for the summit of Ben Nevis. Where you are given the map number ( For Ben Nevis = 41) it is acceptable to omit the two initial letters e.g. 166712. (Instructions on how to read the references are given on the OS maps).

Did these Munros from Corrour to Fersit a great day well worth considering.

Not obvious from a distance but this must be one of the most under-celebrated viewpoints in the highlands, if you ask me. The steepness of the drop into Loch Treig and the aspects to the west and south in particular are as good as I've seen. Glorious weather and the sunlight at 2pm on a late July day helped, the water in Loch Treig being an especially deep blue. As with so many Munro routes, the way up demands a little patience, being - yes - boggy, with many bumps and knolls. I targeted a fairly obvious left to right grassy slope through the crags of Sron a Garbh-bheinne, which was fine.

The ridge just didn't deliver for me. I made a bad start and floundered around in much boggy ground at the bottom. Looking back it seemed I'd have done better to keep to the left of the left-most branch of the weirdly-branching burn more or less to the split, then contouring across. I didn't find things much better higher up though with little opportunity to get hands onto good rock and lots of annoying gullies interfering with the natural line. I'm sure it must be better in winter.

Not sure why the other contributors are raving about the merits of this hill in winter - we did it in June and apart from the boggy beginning (yes we were warned!) the walk was interesting especially when views of Loch Treig came into view. The route to Chno Dearg was even better, the two hills making an excellent Summer day.

Excellent in the winter. Ascended at a demoralising pace with some younger members of the party. Nice crags to dart around with nice scenery at every point. Near summit some crags to easily slip down on ice so be careful. Good view of Chno Dearg from summit and simple route to Chno Dearg with a rather large cairn at the summit to shelter from the wind. Descend straight down towards the car park.
