An estimate of the time taken based on a derivation of Naismiths rules. Our calculation is based on the horizontal and ascent components of a climb, we do not make a reduction for descent.
Registered users can customise these walking times by specifying their own walking and ascending speeds. They can also add a fixed time period for stoppages.

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!

This hill can be easily combined with its relatively close neighbour Sgor Gaoith. We did this route in full winter conditions and and the traverse between the two hills was very straightforward and not particulary tiring. Whole route starting and finishing at Achlean in Glen Feshie was about 7 hours.

Hottest day of year at 30c + and flies galore on Moine Mhor. Summit just a wee bump really. Good views over to Braeriach etc but water available on crossing to Sgor Gaoith and impressive loch Einich. This takes a lot longer than appears, near 2 hours following tracks but good descent to Achlean by car park. Good circuit 8 hours.

This hill could be taken in along with Sgor Gaoith if the visibility is fine. There is a Land Rover track which takes you so far then its a case of a moorland slog up to the second peak.
