Mountain Description
|
|
|
Ben Vane is an "L" shaped mountain with a longer N ridge to Beinn Dubh (773m) and a shorter E ridge. Ben Vane is a rough mountain covered with rocky outcrops. The normal ascent is via the E ridge on a well trodden path weaving through the rocky outcrops with many false summits. There are a few steep sections but no scrambling required.

Ben Vane
|
An easy route, but Ben Vane has many false summits to dash your hopes before the true summit is attained.

Beinn Ime and Ben Vane
|
Some handwork may be required on the SE shoulder of Ben Vane, but is very easily negotiated. Care should taken on the summit ridge of Beinn Ime when icy. No real difficulties on the route, but a fair amount of climbing.

I climed Ben Vane 26th September 2008. I found this a much more enjoyable ascent than I'd first anticipated - we watched the sun rise from the approach track and final section to the summit was enjoyed. Mist made false summits hard to identify, though each reascent offered it's own point of scrambling. This hill hugely exceeded my expectations and will be one to visit again when the clouds arent down.

This was my third munro phew it was a hard 1 the weather wasnt so good . It was muddy n boggy from the outset.the scramble at the top (aye the top b careful there are a few false summits ) if id have known about the scrambling then id have never have taken the dog but we managed it in the end (gawed my wee legs r sore).

Like most, found it a fair slog but height gained quickly and the views well worth the trachle. You can avoid the worst of the mud at the beginning if, instead of taking the first and popular path by the little bridge, you continue on the road a hundred metres or so and go up the obvious shoulder then skirt to the right of the peat hag as the gradient flattens. At least you can start with dry boots.
