Mountain Description
Ainshval and Askival, Rums two Corbetts, sit facing each other across Glen Dibidil with their smaller sister Trollaval (702m) sitting at the head of the glen. From Barkeval in the N to Sgurr nan Gillean in the S, the hills are connected by a long snaking ridge offering an excellent and occassionally challenging ridge walk. The on this ridge, the peaks are steep and craggy and involve a degree of scrambling, especially Trollaval (which can be bypassed). The ascent of Ainshval from Bealach an Fhuarain is steep and rocky.
