Mountain Description
|
|
|
Arkle is a rugged steep sided rocky hill from most aspects yet to the SE it has broad slopes with easy slopes leading to the S top. From here the route to the true summit is not so easy, as it is along a narrow steep sided ridge with considerable exposure and one awkward section requiring scrambling.
