We had a dry calm day for this walk (01/04/09). Excellent walk description, right down to the 'turf-clutching' final few metres before reaching the 906m top. We found that the path from the bealach follows the line of old fence posts at first but then seems to meander a bit - we lost it in the fingers of snow near the top.
Shame that the summit ridge is so short for all the effort but the views are a good compensation.
The descent is straightforward on a good path and, it's true, just when you think it ought to be getting a bit easier, the final descent to the road is a punishment for tired knees.
Our timing was ~6hrs, so spot on.
