Climbed this munro in August 2007 as part of a 2 day expedition to climb the Fisherfield 6. I started from Corrie Hallie and kept on the main path to Fisherfield-be warned-if you branch off to Shenavall, that path is appalling. I crossed the Abhainn Loch an Nid at the first opportunity (easy, no need to take the boots off). I then went up the Eastern flank of the mountain, just south off Creag Ghlas, then reached the summit from the North,very rocky. This is a very hard ascent and it took me 5 1/2 hours in total. I think the estimated time of 9 hours for a round trip is optimistic.

Walked in evening of 13/6/06 from Corrie Hall.Great path.Good grassy area at Shenavall to camp but since river low decided to wade across incase it changed overnight! Found other side to be very boggy & problem trying to find place to pitch tent. Had to climb a bit and ended up on uncomfortable ground. Also lack of flowing water to drink on this day. Hope others have better trip than we did. Hill itself good walk, great views.
