Some handwork may be required on the SE shoulder of Ben Vane, but is very easily negotiated. Care should taken on the summit ridge of Beinn Ime when icy. No real difficulties on the route, but a fair amount of climbing.

Like the idea of a more mobile base for your next Munro?
Fantastic, high quality, heated, 2-4 berth campervans for hire. The perfect winter base: freedom to choose where you go to get the most from the weather, & a cosy base to come back to after a great day on the hill!

We also ended up on some pretty steep crags off the side of Ben Vane. I advise from the summit of Ben Vane when facing over to Beinn Ime, that you walk as far to the right as you can and then follow the long and gentle out crop down into the valley before climbing Beinn Ime. The climb of Ben Vane is quite interesting and enjoyable. Good scrambling towards the top over the many false summits.

I think you mean more West than SW off Ben Vane (even WNW ?) - SW had us dropping down some fairly steep corries - I think if we'd gone further North the descent would have been a little easier. There is not much of a track to follow - just sheep trails.
