Mountain Description
|
|
|
Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhcraig form a curved ridge around Loch Oss and are generally climbed together. Beinn Dubhcraig hase craggy sections and many rocky outcrops, particularly on its SW face overlooking Loch Oss. Lack of access paths to the S results in Beinn Dubhcraig being ascended primarily from Glen Cononish to the N. Beinn Dubhchraig has two NNE facing ridges enclosing a large corrie, and the more W of these is the best ascent route. The convential route follows the Allt Coire Dubhcraig through the corrie and can be very boggy. We recommend you approach the N slopes from Glen Cononish

Ben Oss and Beinn Dubhchraig
|
Not a difficult route once you have negotiated the forest. Ben Dubhcraig is rocky on the southern face but this is avoided.

A better descent might be to drop down the shoulder to the farm. You then have a dull landrover track but at least its not muddy.

Cilmbed Dubhchraig and Oss on Sunday 5th June 2005 Was a good weather day but got no views because of the cloud cover. Thank God for satelite Nav. I have to say that this is not the easiest of walks to a novice. The path is unclear and if tackling Oss aswell be sure you do not take the south path after leaving Dubhchraig and going around the wrong way. It adds a long section onto your journey. Great but long day out if tackling both mountains.

I have to agree with the previous comments, I've used this route a few times and the mud is appauling on the main ascent route, the ladders have all now collapsed and some supposed walkers have taken to cutting holes in the deer fences. The state of the approach is a shame as the sumit offers fine views to Ben Lui, Ben Oss, south towards the Arrochar Alps and west towards Ben More. If you do choose the main path then do try not to widen it further and remember mud washes off your boots.
