22nd May 2008. We descended from here along the ridge running directly north-west from the summit and east of the district boundary. After passing through the middle of a rocky tower high on the ridge, the ground drops steeply on loose stones. At the foot of the ridge a line can be taken across heather towards the Allt Cam at 444 766.

Fine curving ascent from bealach below Aonach Beag. Cloud lifting on our return for views. Took our group only 4 hours from Culra Bothy via Lancet edge, excellent ridge traverse and reversed to include Carn dearg.
