Mountain Description
|
|
|
Tolmount forms the head wall of Glen Callater and its NW face is consequently rocky and steep. To other points of the compass its slopes are gentle and undulating as it is a summit on the edge of a high moorland plateau. Access to Tolmount is normally from Glen Doll to the SE by the path known as "Jocks Road" or from Carn a Claise at the W limit of the plateau.

6 in a day! Started at the car park at the Glen Doll reserve, traversed up Jocks Road and climbed Tolmount, then onto Carn An Turic, Carn of Claise and finally Tom Buidhe. Sat at the cairn on Buidhe deciding what to do next an dmade the decision to avoid Jocks Road going
back and traversed across to Mayar and finally Dreish. Absoluteky exhausted after the decent back to the car park but buzzing with satisfaction. Great day with my mate Steve, although weather was great there is little to make me want to go back, nothing technical here....except trying to find the unassuming 6 bumps.
