This is a cracking little round taking in three Munros. Some of the steep sections add excitement, particularly on the descent down the North ridge of Am Bodach. On a clear day like the one we experienced, you are given stunning views of many very familiar mountains. Fitter munroists might wants to take in an extra peak or two whilst on the ridge but the 5000+ feet of ascent was enough for us.

When I completed this route there was approaching 2ft of snow and white out conditions at times, but none the less it was good fun. These hills offer some superlative views, when you can see, and made a good day out. But if you have got the time or inclination I would reccomend a complete traverse of all the mamores in one very long outing from the Glen Nevis side.
