I didn't climb this route as I was coming from the North. However, I'd just like to recommend the long gentle north-east ridge, which was the way I came. I found this delightful. I give Beinn na Lap top billing as a splendid, well-mannered hill with an extremely pretty summit.

An easy munro but very enjoyable due to the isolation and the fantastic views in all directions (one walker in our group commented that he'd located the "EU scenery surplus").
The resturaunt at Corrour halt is good place to laze away the rest of the day until your train arrives.

A useful aperitif if you are heading down to the end of Loch Ossian and the more challenging Munros beyond. Contrary to the notes there is ample refreshment available at Corrour Station which has a tearoom - nice bacon sandwiches too.
