Mountain Description
Canisp is a rocky hill elongated SE to NW. SE of the summit there is a broad ridge forming a long slow ramp offering a very easy ascent. NW of the summit the ridge is narrow and steep and the flanks of the Canisp are steep and rocky. Due to the location of the nearest road (A837) and a footbridge over the River Loanan at Loch Awe, the SE ridge is the obvious ascent route, but a longer approach is possible from Lochinver to the NW.
